Question:
Is it permissible for a smoker to lead the people in prayer, even if he is better than them in recitation and reading?
Answer:
Answer: No. If there is a choice for the imam, they should not choose a smoker because he is committing an apparent sin, and because he is a role model. People may imitate him, so they should choose someone better than him.
