Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
There are many imams who lead the ma'mum in prayer, and they see errors and shortcomings from some of the congregation, but they do not pay any attention to it. Some of them leave their mosque without caring, without appointing a successor. What do you say to these people?
Answer:
All of this is a defect. All of this is a defect. Leaving the congregation without guiding them or pointing out the error, and likewise leaving the role of imam and being negligent in it, and wasting the role of imam, which is in his name and by his commitment, is a great defect. Leaving the obligatory is leaving an obligation.
