The ruling on untying the hair of a praying man whose hair has been tied by someone else
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If I see a man whose hair is tied up while he is praying, is it permissible for me to do what Ibn 'Abbas did and untie it, or is this a different case?
Answer:
If he is ignorant, if he is ignorant of this, then it is cooperation in righteousness and piety. But if he is not ignorant, then a dispute will arise between you and him. So when he finishes the prayer, remind him that the Sunnah is such and such. If he returns to it, fine; otherwise, you have no concern with him. Yes.
