Frequenting the Masjid whose Imam is well versed in recitation

487

Q 1: There is a regular Imam in our village who does not recite the Qur'an well. He turns confirmation into denial, changes the diacritics, and replaces some letters with others. In addition to this, he performs the Sirri Salah (Prayer with subvocal recitation) so quickly that the Ma’mums (people being led by the Imam in Prayer) may not be able to complete the recitation of Surah Al-Fatihah in the last two Rak‘as. When I go to perform Salah (Prayer) in one of the neighboring Masjids (mosques), I notice that my father is not happy, but he does not know the mistakes that this Imam commits. This Masjid is next to our house and my father comes to my house to remind me of the Salah before he goes to the Masjid. I hope you will explain the ruling on performing Salah behind this Imam and whether I am sinful if I do not listen to my father and I go to perform Salah in another Masjid.

A: There is no harm in going to a Masjid where the Imam recites the Qur’an well and this will not be considered as a disobedience to your father, because you are seeking to perfect your Salah and do it properly, and you are not harming your father by doing this. You should advise your father and explain to him your reasons. You should also inform those responsible for the Imam, so they can advise and direct him.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
