Question
What is the status of Salaat performed behind a man who is clean shaven? Is the Salaat valid? Is it permissible to forego Jamaat if the Imaam is clean shaven?
Answer
Perform Salaat in another Musjid where the Imaam is not such a vile faasiq as a clean shaven devil. However, if this is not possible then do not forego Jamaat. The Salaat is valid even behind a faasiq even though it is haraam to appoint such a vile person to be the imam.
