Reporting on a Mu'adhdhin Who Smells of Smoke

Question:
I heard the Honorable Shaykh say: This is the mu'adhdhin of a mosque from whom the smell of smoke is detected in his mouth, and it is also detected in his home, but they have not seen him with their own eyes. Should he be reported to the authority after advising him, or should his fault be concealed?

Answer:
If he is advised and does not comply, then he should be reported to the mosque affairs department to have him replaced, because this smell indicates smoking, unless there is someone else in his home who smokes, such as one of his children, and he is in the house. You must be careful to verify the facts.
