Question
On another occasion at the same Jamaat Khaanah, the appointed Muath-thin called the Athaan. But the Iqaamat was recited by a man dressed with a pink T-shirt and jeans and without his head covered. After the Salaat I approached the imaam to complain. He responded that he did not want to offend anyone. Please comment.
Answer
The imaam and the trustees of the Jamaat Khaanah miserably failed in their duty. They were supposed to have stopped the faasiq in his tracks and prevented him from reciting the Iqaamah. It is not permissible to allow a faasiq to recite the Athaan and the Iqaamah. Salaat performed with such lewd dress has to be compulsorily repeated.
