The ruling on the prayer of one who reads from the mushaf in the obligatory prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Our imam in the mosque reads from the mushaf in the 'Isha' and Fajr prayers. Is his prayer valid?
Answer:
The prayer is valid, but this is not suitable for an imam. One who does not memorize, one who does not memorize, does not read in the prayer; this one is not suitable to be an imam, because people follow him in laziness and follow him in not caring about the Qur'an. So this one is not suitable to be an imam. Yes.
