Question
A brother recently suggested that anyone who does not have a beard can not lead the sala’h because the Sunnah of the prophet was keeping a beard.
Is this true?
Answer
There is nothing in the Qur’an or the sahih ahadith (narratives of the sayings) of the Prophet (PBUH) that says that a person, without a beard cannot lead a prayer. Thus, if the Prophet has not made it a necessary condition, how can I make it one?
