Question:
Also, Abu Aishah al-Fadali asks and says: Shaykh, the phenomenon of some mosque imams and mu'adhdhins walking among people with their heads uncovered, sometimes going out in sports clothes or pants and shopping in them. He asks: Is this among the things that destroy dignity? And does this affect the integrity of the imam and the mu'adhdhin?
Answer:
The imam is a role model, and so is the mu'adhdhin. He should not be a subject of criticism or disparagement by people, but rather he should be in the best possible state and respect the position he holds. Yes.
