Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: May Allah reward you. If there is a man with a permanent state of impurity and a man who is an open sinner, which one is presented for the imamate?
Answer:
The one with a permanent state of impurity does not pray except with one like him. As for the open sinner, if you find him praying, the people pray behind him, so pray with them. But if you have a choice in presenting him, do not present him; present someone better than him.
