Ruling on the imam missing the prayer, or two prayers in a month, due to unforeseen circumstances
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am sorry for burdening you with so many questions, as His Eminence the Shaykh says. So, if you would be so kind, if I am the imam of a mosque and I miss one of the obligatory prayers in a month, or two, for specific excuses, is there any blame on me?
Answer:
There is no blame on you, if Allah wills. However, you should advise them not to let the prayer be delayed, or appoint someone to lead them, or advise them that if you are late for the usual time, they should appoint someone to pray with them so that the prayer is not delayed and they are not harmed. You should strive to be upright, and there is no blame in the few incidental matters, if Allah wills.
The presenter : Praise be to Allah. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
