Question

Is it allowed to be an Imaam of a tablighi Masjid that is connected to Nizamuddin or Raiwand, but in another country?

Answer

Whenever you go to any Musjid, do not be concerned who the Imaam is. Do not make enquiries about the Imaam. Just perform your Salaat and leave silently. By becoming concerned with who the Imaam is or whether he is a Nizaamuddin supporter or a Raiwand supporter or a faasiq, etc., you will develop a holier than thou attitude – an attitude of takabbur and ujub.

The purpose of going to a Musjid is to perform Ibaadat. Have this uppermost in mind. Do not be concerned with any other issues. Whether it is permissible to appoint a tablighi imaam or a non-tablighi one, should not be your concern. It is a futile concern because you are not the one who appoints the imaam. It is of imperative importance for a person to be concerned with his own islaah/ moral reformation. This concern demands that one should not become involved with the issues of others.

Every person has mountains of sins. If he reflects, he will feel ashamed of his own sins. Then he will become blind to the sins of others.
