Question
Some Musjids allow huffaaz who cut their beard to lead the Taraaweeh Salaat. They argue that no other huffaaz are available. Is this permissible?
Answer
It is not permissible. It is haraam to appoint a faasiq to lead any Salaat. If a proper Haafiz is not available, the short Surahs from Alam Tara Kaifa should be recited. Those who appoint a faasiq to lead the Salaat are guilty of a grave sin.
