Question

In a mosque in our area, Imam Sahib used to play dotara when he was young. Then one of them became a disciple of Pir and got better. Now it is seen that sometimes he is secretly teaching music to a few people. Now will there be prayer behind that Imam or not? I will benefit if you inform me with documents. 8331345664


Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

In the Shari'ah, singing is completely forbidden and a grave sin. Teaching and teaching music is both a grave sin. And the person who is involved in the sins of the poets is a transgressor. And praying behind the transgressor and leading the prayers for him are both makrooh tahrimi. Therefore, it has become permissible for the Imam described in the question to repent from singing and playing at a young age, and then after the signs of repentance have appeared, that is, after the morals have become sound, it is permissible for him to perform Iqtada and pray for the Imam behind him. But according to the narration, if he really teaches music now secretly or openly, then he will be tahrimi in Namaz Makrooh behind him because he is again involved in Kabir sins. However, if a person performs Iqtada behind him because he does not know or because there is no other mosque nearby or because of any other Shari'ah excuse, his prayer will not be Makrooh. 1113191612
