Question:
And when he stands up, and when he says Allahu Akbar, and this, if it had not happened to those who attribute to your Lord.
Answer:
This man has great audacity. He says Allahu Akbar instead of Sami' Allahu li man hamidah, and when it was refuted to him, he said everything is permissible, Allahu Akbar, Sami' Allahu li man hamidah. Who said this? In reality, this is a compound ignorance. It is not permissible to keep him as an imam; he must be removed and disciplined. How does he display this?
We say: Does everyone who says Allahu Akbar or Sami' Allahu li man hamidah become an imam? The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 875Sahih (Darussalam) If he says Allahu Akbar, it does not excuse him from saying Sami' Allahu li man hamidah.
