Question:
Some imams and mu'adhdhins let their garments hang below the ankles and trim their beards. What is your guidance for these people?
Answer:
Do not appoint such a person as an imam. He is the imam's example, so do not appoint one who lets his garment hang below the ankles, nor one who trims his beard. Rather, appoint one who adheres to the Sunnah; that is the one to be appointed as imam. Yes.
