Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Regarding the prohibition of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) of a man leading a congregation that dislikes him, he asks: Does this include a righteous imam, but the people dislike him because of the badness of his voice?
Answer:
If their dislike is due to personal preference, this has no effect; or for worldly matters, or for ulterior motives, this has no effect, and his prayer and his leading of the prayer are valid. But if they dislike him for a religious matter, meaning there is a defect in his religion or a deficiency in his religion, then this is a justified dislike, and it is the one for which the warning was issued. His prayer does not go beyond the heads of the three whose prayers do not go beyond their heads, if they dislike him justly. Yes.
