Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among his questions, he asks about reporting the imam's error: what is its ruling and what is its criterion, O Shaykh?
Answer:
Relaying the imam's words is permissible if one cannot hear him. If the worshippers are numerous and the rows are long, and one cannot hear from behind except by relaying, there is no harm in that. And today, praise be to Allah, we have found loudspeakers that reach the near and the far. Yes.
