What is the ruling on the adhan of one who shaves his beard, smokes, and lets his garment hang below the ankles?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the mu'adhdhin is one who shaves his beard?
Answer:
This is not a matter of appearance; this is a sinner, openly so. This is an open sin. We ask Allah for well-being.
Q: What about the adhan?
A: It is not to be relied upon. He should be replaced; because this is not one who is modest, this is one who is exposed.
Q: If one hears the adhan from one who shaves his beard, he does not break his fast at his adhan?
A: He is not to be relied upon unless it is the adhan of another, or he knows that the sun has set and the time has entered, or at the adhan of another.
Q: I say: In some countries, the one who takes on the adhan is one of open sinfulness: he shaves the beard, smokes, and lets his garment hang below the ankles?
A: May Allah guide them. You call for their guidance and advise them, and you tell the authorities to replace them.
Q: Is their adhan sufficient?
A: There is deliberation in it; its sufficiency is a matter of deliberation, unless you know that the time has entered or another has called the adhan. As for in cases of dire necessity, it may be said in cases of dire necessity: the affliction of shaving beards, some believe it is permissible and that there is no harm in it. It may be said in cases of dire necessity: if in his own view there is no harm in it, and he is not accused of being lax regarding the adhan, it may be said: he is to be relied upon in cases of dire necessity in his prayer, breaking his fast, and other matters. But whenever it is possible to remove him and alert the authorities, another is to be appointed. There is no harm; dire necessities have their rulings: [Al-An'am: 119]. It may be said in this case under the category of dire necessity: he is to be relied upon out of dire necessity or doubt; because some people may consider it permissible, and that shaving it is permissible, and that shortening it is permissible. He is confused, so this may be an excuse for relying on his adhan; because many people now argue about this and follow people who did this thing, seeing them as worthy of being followed. People are deceived by them. We ask Allah for safety.
