Haafiz who trims his beard
Question
Who should lead the salaah? A hafiz of the quran who has a nice voice, but who trims his beard under the required length and who's robes flows under his ankles, or someone who isn't hafiz but is righteous adheres to the Sunnah? If the first leads the salaah should one repeat the salaah?
Answer
The one who is righteous and adheres to the sunnah is more worthy.
No.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
