If there is no other hafiz but one who cuts/shaves his beard, should he be allowed to lead the Taraaweeh Salaat?

Question

If there is no other hafiz but one who cuts/shaves his beard, should he be allowed to lead the Taraaweeh Salaat?

Answer

It is haraam to appoint a clean-shaven faasiq or a shaitaan who cuts his beard to lead the Taraaweeh even if he is a haafiz. If there is no one else able to recite the whole Qur'aan, Taraaweeh should be performed with the short Surahs.
