Question
The trustees of a Musjid do not allow any Islamic literature to be distributed at the Musjid without their permission. Do they have this right if the Imaam allows the distribution? Is it not the Imaam's right? The trustees are faasiqs.
Answer
Trustees are in charge of the administration of the Musjid, not the Imaam. He is a paid employee. He is not the trustee. However, if the trustees are jaahils and faasiqs, then obviously they will make decisions in conflict with the Shariah. Those who appoint fussaaq to positions of trust are guilty of a major sin.
