Question
Is Salaat valid behind an imaan who does not wear a topi?
Answer
Salaat behind even a faasiq is valid. The imaam who leads the Salaat without a topi/Islamic headgear is a faasiq. If there is no nearby Musjid with a pious Imaam, then do perform Jamaat Salaat even behind the faasiq. Do not forego the Jamaat Salaat because of the fisq of the imaam.
