Question

When Imam Sahib starts reciting khutbah during Eid prayers in any Eid ground, he goes to the Eid ground, mosque and Imam Sahib with a handkerchief in the middle of Qatar and collects money. Not only that, the committee ordered Imam Sahib to read the khutbah slowly with a view to collecting money. Imam Sahib also recited the khutba accordingly. Would it be correct? If not, what is the crime? And who is responsible for this? 1764869486


Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

It is a far cry to raise money or collect money while giving khutbah of Imam Sahib. It has been narrated that when Imam Sahib is ready to give khutbah, it is strictly forbidden to say any kind of prayer, tasbeeh-tahlil and talk. Therefore, making such an order for the committee has been against the Shariah. And it was not right for Imam Sahib to read the sermon slowly in obedience to that order. He should have made arrangements to raise money before or after the khutba and to stop raising money during the khutba and explain this matter to the committee. It is to be noted that for the Imam or the Muazzin, collecting or collecting help in a different way is tantamount to insulting them. So instead of raising it like this, he will collect for the Eidgah Fund and give them honorarium. 6872991571
