Appointing a substitute for the mosque imam to attend lessons
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I am the imam of a mosque. Is it permissible for me to appoint a substitute in order to attend lessons and lectures?
Answer:
If you find someone with the capability to act on your behalf, there is no harm in it, because attending lessons and lectures is very important and you benefit from them. So if you find someone from the mosque congregation or from others who can perform the obligatory duty, there is no harm in that, because this is a valid religious excuse. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
