Salaat is a great bounty of Allah Ta'ala upon His servants. It is that special audience that Allah Ta'ala grants to His servants so that they may communicate with Him. How fortunate we are that the King of all Kings - Allah Ta'ala - brings us to His House (the Masjid); and talking to us affords us the opportunity to communicate with Him. It is therefore incumbent upon us that we show gratitude and appreciation to Allah Ta'ala for giving us the guidance and Tawfeeq to perform Salaat in the best possible manner. HUFFAAZ AND TARAWEEHUnfortunately great disregard is shown on our part as to the type of Huffaaz that we appoint to lead the congregation for Taraweeh. In many Masaajid, it is noticed that the Hafiz/Hufaaz is totally unfit (Islamically) to lead the Taraweeh Salaat.Many are young boys not even aware of the basic rules governing Salaat. Some are only seen in the Masjid in Ramadhaan. Many do not keep a Shar'ee length beard (one fist), they wear their pants below the ankles (which is Haraam), indulge in listening to music, watching TV Programmes and commit other sins openly in the months before Ramadhaan. THE SHARI'AH RULING CONCERNING THE FAASIQ HUFFAAZ Imaamat of a Hafiz Who Shaves To shave the beard is Haraam and in the light of Shari'ah, the one who shaves the beard is a Faasiq (sinner). Thus, to make such a person an Imaam is not permissible. To follow such an Imaam is Makrooh Tahrimi (Shami). The Beard of a Hafiz is Less than a Fist Length
A HUMBLE APPEAL IS MADE TO ALL TRUSTEES AND MUSALLEES TO APPOINT SUCH HUFFAAZ FOR TARAWEEH WHO CONFORM TO THE SHARI'AH. A HUMBLE APPEAL IS ALSO MADE TO PARENTS WHOSE SONS ARE HUFFAAZ, TO PLEASE ENCOURAGE THEM TO BE PRACTICAL MUSLIMS.
