Denouncing the tying of hair in a knot for one who sees it in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If I see a man with his hair tied in a knot during prayer, is it permissible for me to do what Ibn 'Abbas did and untie it, or is this different?
Answer:
If he is ignorant, if he is ignorant, this is cooperation in righteousness and piety. But if he is not ignorant, this will lead to a quarrel between you and him. So if he says the salam, alert him that the Sunnah is such and such. If he returns to it, well and good; otherwise, it is not your concern. Yes.
