Question
The hafiz who was the Imaam for Taraaweeh has a very skimpy beard. He trims his beard less than a fist-length, and he wears he trousers below his ankles even during Salaat. Is Taraaweeh behind him permissible?
Answer
It is not permissible to appoint a faasiq to lead any Salaat. This hafiz is a faasiq. Although the Salaat is valid, those who had appointed him are sinners.
