In most Musjids even if there is just a half a saff, the Imaam still has to tie the microphone to his clothing according to the instructions of the tr

Answer

The rationale underlying the Musjid Imaams submitting to the haraam demands of the trustees by making themselves like dogs on leashes with the microphone wire, is lack of faith in the Razzaaqiyat of Allah Ta'ala. They are in need of the boodle, and they have no yaqeen that Rizq comes from only Allah Ta'ala. They fear being dismissed by the fussaaq trustees of the Musjid if they do not submit like disgraceful poodles to the haraam dictates of the fussaaq.
