Question
Some Imams make numerous movements in the Salaat.Because of the position of the microphone in some masaajid, some imams -may Allah grant them correctnessmake numerous movements during the Salaat. Many of them move away from it whilst making ruku', sajdah and standing back up and may even make the takbeer to move from one position to the next before or after its proper place. This is in addition to the fact of annoying the people because of the volume of their voices as a result of their mouths being so close to the microphone. Despite this, they don't give this issue the importance it deserves and they might not even acknowledge it at all. The zulm of the microphone goes so far, yet these Imams continue to perpetrate their oppression against the Muslims. We are forced to listen to the high pitched loud speakers and to endure the oppression. Please comment.
Answer
The problem of the haraam microphone continues because the musallis condone it. If the musallis are averse to it, they will object and apply pressure on the imams and the trustees to eliminate the instruments of the devil. A group of musallis should take up the matter with the imam and trustees. If there are sufficient musallis objecting, then they will have to comply.
Furthermore, the wormlike performance of the imams invalidate the Salaat. These silly and ludicrous movements nullify the Salaat. Musallis caught up in such evil situations, should repeat their Salaat.
Imaam, there is no Sajdah Sahw for him. Only if he is a Masbooq (late-comer who has missed a raka't or more) will he have to make Sajdah Sahw for any error committed whilst he is fulfilling his missed raka'ts.
