Question
In Roshnee we have a Musjid where they have employed a Muazzin. The Muazzin was born with a defect. Can't walk properly . He has to be in the wheel chair. I feel the mutawallis will be questionable. It is difficult for him to clean the musjid. Because of his condition. His pronunciation is not up to standard because of his condition. They just picked him from the street to give azaan. Is this proper? Please comment.
Answer
The mutawallis are in error for having employed the person. How can they expect service from a wheelchair bound person? To say the least, they are callous. They should honourably relieve him from the Musjid's service, and ensure to give him the same amount they are currently paying him. These mutawallis have ample Zakaat funds available to sustain the poor handicapped muath-thin.
riod?
A. Most certainly not. The mahr may not be used as maintenance whether Talaaq is given or not. The mahr is something entirely different and has to be paid in full.
