Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Oh Abu 'Ammar, and I want to praise Zakariyyah, but Zakariyyah is busy right now. Abu 'Ammar, may Allah bless your home.
The questioner: May Allah bless you, O Master, the Shaykh. We are in need of people like you.
The Shaykh: May Allah preserve you. First, I noticed something, and my observation might be wrong regarding you; it might be wrong, but it is correct regarding others. I say my observation might be wrong regarding you. My observation is that you made a mistake in the sunnah when you place your hands like this.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: Yes, but perhaps it is a dialect, perhaps an unintentional dialect, I mean.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh: This is an observation regarding his recitation. Yes, but his takbir is poor during the transitions.
The questioner: Allahu akbaa ar.
The Shaykh: Akbaa ar, like this.
The questioner: This changes the meaning.
The Shaykh: It invalidates the prayer, according to some jurists. It appears he is a reciter, but he is unlearned; he is not a jurist.
The questioner: Shaykh, this is very common here. Some people memorize the Qur'an and the books of the Sunnah, but they have no fiqh at all, not even the application of Islam.
The Shaykh : Correct.
The questioner: In our neighborhood, there is one... young, and he sits and recites every day in the sunnah, and they appoint an imam...
Another questioner: Do you prioritize this one, O our Shaykh, over one who has less memorization of the Qur'an but...?
The Shaykh : It is given priority.
The questioner: The one with greater memorization of the Qur'an...
Another questioner: Recitation and the knowledge of tafsir, this is tafsir.
The questioner: My brother, but the problem is there is one who memorizes the Qur'an but does not apply, neither the Sunnah nor the Qur'an.
Another questioner: It appears in the congregation, we tried it in Qatar and the UAE, he does not pray if the imam shaves his beard, he just stays sitting and does not pray.
The questioner : ... .
Another questioner: I tell you, no, it is not possible for you to be an imam if you do not have a beard, if you do not follow the Sunnah.
The Shaykh: He must pray.
The questioner: No, he... he must pray, behind his imam, I mean, but...
The questioner: May Allah bless you, O Master, the Shaykh. We are in need of people like you.
