Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I am the imam of a mosque, and I go out sometimes once a week, such as on Thursday or Friday. The congregation is willing to accept this, and the one present prays with them. The mu'adhdhin is aware of this and brings forward one of the congregation.
Answer:
No, do not leave the matter to the mu'adhdhin. You are the one who chooses a single person to lead the prayer. Do not go and leave them, saying, "The mu'adhdhin will choose." Yes.
