Imaam covering his face with a scarf
Question
Can the Imaam make a juma khutbah and perform the salaah with his scarf covering his face so much so that only his nose is exposed. When he goes into ruku the scarf hangs down both sides onto the ground.
Answer
The namaaz will be valid, but it is not appropriate for the imaam to be dressed up in this manner.
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.
