The ruling on the prayer of one who prays behind an imam who lets his garment hang below the ankles
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible to pronounce divorce behind a mushaf?
Answer:
The prayer is permissible, but he should be admonished regarding letting the garment hang below the ankles, and he should be instructed to stop it. If he persists, he is to be removed from the position of imam. As for the prayer itself, it is valid, because its conditions, pillars, and obligations have been fulfilled, and none of these invalidate it. Letting the garment hang below the ankles is a sin. The imam’s sin does not invalidate his prayer or the prayer of those behind him, but he is to be rebuked for it and advised to abandon it. If he does not abandon it, he is to be removed from the imamate and someone else appointed in his place. Nothing invalidates the prayer except disbelief. Yes.
