[ The ruling on the imam of a sinner from the legal point of view ]
(Check the original text in Arabic ...)


Some people returned it in general terms, and some people allowed it in absolute terms. Some people differentiated between the immoral person whose immorality was severed and the one whose immorality is suspected, but they did not permit the imamate of the one who was severed in his immorality, and that the one praying behind him should repeat it. They recommended repeating it for the one who prayed behind the person suspected of immorality at the time. They also distinguished between the one whose immorality is based on interpretation and the one whose immorality is without interpretation, so they permitted the prayer. behind the interpreter, and they did not allow it for someone other than the interpreter, and by permitting it in general, I say that the believer is not a sinner at all, since nothing resists faith even though he is in the place of the sinner .
