Imaamat of a person who started growing his beard
Question
I am 19 years old and I used to trim my beard. (استغفرلله) Now, I have stopped and I have a beard protruding an inch or so. Can I lead a prayer or call the Azaan? I do not know whether my beard would have reached one fist or not if I had never cut it. Alhamdulilah, I have made Taubah. Am I eligible for imamat and calling the Azaan?
Answer
Yes.
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.
