Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from Britain says: We have in Britain a preacher who is not proficient in Arabic or in reciting the Qur'an. In fact, he rarely cites Qur'anic verses for fear of making a mistake, and his sermon always deals with rebuttals and mentioning the names of specific individuals. He asks: What is your advice for such a preacher in our country?
Answer:
Look for a preacher other than him, and praise be to Allah, today there are many preachers and memorizers of the Qur'an everywhere. Look for an imam and preacher who is proficient.
