Question

The presidant of a masjid is living with his ex wife after divorce. We feel that this is against the teaching of Islam and therefore detrimental to the image of the masjid. Please advice?

Answer

The committee should speak to him that he either makes taubah and leave her or resign from his position.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
