Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is this rule correct, which is that whoever's prayer is valid, his leading of the prayer is valid?
Answer:
Yes, this is the statement of the scholars of knowledge. They say that the open sinner's prayer is valid, so as long as his prayer is valid, his leading of the prayer is valid. But the school of jurisprudence says no; the open sinner's prayer is valid, but his leading of the prayer is not valid, because he is not just. Yes.
