Presenting a man for the imamah because of the beauty of his voice
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa No. ( 19926 )
Q1: I am a young man, eighteen years old and a few months, and sometimes they present me as their imam in prayer in the mosque because of the beauty of my voice. I have learned that one of the signs of the minor Hour is presenting a man for the imamah of people in prayer for the beauty of his voice , even if he is the least of them in fiqh and virtue. I have studied some rulings regarding the recitation of the Qur'an and its tajwid, and I am also more knowledgeable about the Book of Allah than anyone else in the mosque regarding the time for the iqamah of prayer. So, when this situation repeated itself with me, I intentionally delayed until the iqamah was called and someone else entered to lead the prayer. As a result, I miss the sunnah prayer and some rak'ahs of the congregational prayer. Am I sinful for doing this? I ask for advice.
A1 : Your imamah for your people, if you are the one who reads the Book of Allah to them, is a noble deed in accordance with the Sunnah, and you have a reward with Allah for it. So do not refrain and deprive yourself of the reward, and it is not permissible for you to delay for the reason you mentioned. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
