Question
A man smokes during Ramadhaan, but acts as the Imaam for Salaat. Is it permissible to perform Salaat behind him?
Answer
Smoking breaks the fast. It is haraam for a man who smokes during the fasting time of Ramadhaan to lead the Salaat. Such a vile faasiq should not be permitted to lead the Salaat. Salaat should not be performed behind him. Salaat is not permissible behind him.
