Question
`After Fardh Salaat of Zuhr, etc. the Imaam gives a bayaan using the microphone while numerous musallis are engaging in Sunnat Salaat. This causes considerable disturbance and distraction for the musallis. He, himself had said in his talks that Salaat should be performed with concentration, but he disturbs the musallis with his bayaan. When I informed him that The Majlis says that this is a new bid'ah, he refuted this. Our Moulana dislikes The Majlis. When he hears about The Majlis, he gets fever.
Answer
Firstly, Ittisaal (joining immediately without delay) between the Fardh and Sunnatul Muakkadah is Waajib. Secondly, it is haraam to disturb the Musallis in their Salaat with even Tlaawat of the Qur'aan Majeed. Thirdly, your Moulana's act is a new bid'ah stunt. Fourthly, his fever is the effect of the Haqq striking his brains as Allah Ta'ala says in the Qur'aan Majeed: "In fact, We strike the Haqq against baatil. It (the Haqq) then smashes out the brains of baatil." The cure for his fever is to submit to the Ahkaam of the Shariah.
