The Imamate and Recitation According to the Canonical Recitations

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: He is the imam of a mosque in one of the countries, and the ministry has designated this mosque for recitation according to the canonical recitations in the obligatory prayers and the Ramadan night prayer. This is the state's policy, and it is to spread the knowledge of the canonical recitations. He asks: Is there any obstacle to reciting according to the canonical recitations if the people know that he will do so and he has been authorized by the state?

Answer:
Do not become the imam of this mosque; do not become its imam. Avoid it and go to another mosque that does not have obligatory prayers. Yes.
