Is it valid for a soldier to lead the prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : It is also valid for a soldier to lead the prayer, and it is valid for a police officer to lead it, even if he is wearing his military uniform, because he is a Muslim man. In fact, we may say that he has performed a work of general benefit, so from this perspective, his work is better than that of one who works in a job of private benefit. Therefore, it is valid for a soldier to lead the prayer.
