Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: The imam of our mosque does not adhere to the time, and he does not come until a quarter of an hour has passed after the time. We are in a difficult situation often. He says: What is your advice to us and to him regarding this?
Answer:
We should go to the mosque affairs department and they will take him in hand; either he will commit to it, or he will be delayed and someone else will be brought in. Yes.
