Question
Is it permissible to ask a beardless qaari to be the Imaam or have a seven-style qira't program? I am now in Tanzania and see beardless qaaris having qira't programs.
Answer
It is not permissible to appoint a beardless qaari to be the Imaam. Those who appoint him are sinful. It is not permissible to honour such a qaari by attending his recitation. These programs where fussaaq qaaris are honoured are haraam.
