Question
As an Imam is old, the worshipers do not hear the Imam's recitation properly. Therefore, there has been a rift among the worshipers and many have commented that there will be no prayer behind the Imam. Because, due to old age, his Surah Qiraat is not valid and cannot be heard. What is the Shariah decision in this regard?

Answer
- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -
If that Imam Sahib can recite the Qiraat in a pure way and the listeners can hear the Qiraat Sahih correctly, then that Imam Sahib is more deserving of the Imamate. He should be retained. Yes, the authorities can release him if he wants to because he cannot hear the Qur'an or because he does not understand it clearly. However, it is the responsibility of the worshipers to provide pension allowance or anything like that for the maintenance of the old Imam and his family. 5456434512
