Advancing over the owner of the house who openly commits sin in leading the prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If I am better at recitation than the owner of the house and I am also more knowledgeable in jurisprudence, and the owner of the house is one who commits a major sin openly, such as letting his garment hang below the ankles or shaving his beard, does he become the imam for him?
Answer:
If you advance, that is in the sense of if you advance. Or you tell him, "Let me pray," meaning you ask his permission. As for advancing over him without his permission and without asking him, that is not fitting, because this action may be disliked by him and increase the evil.
