Praying behind the one who smokes
|
Question:
What is the ruling of the prayer behind the one who smokes?
|
Answer:
If you can find other than him as an Imaam then do not pray behind him, and if you cannot but find an Imaam who smokes then it is an obligation that you pray behind him – and do not pray by yourself – and Allaah knows best.
