JAZAKALLAH

[Imam]

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu


All Praise be to Allah who is the Lord of the Worlds, and may Endless Blessings be showered upon His Most Beloved and Final Messenger of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa Sallam


Jazak'allah for your question. The beard is a condition for a person who is engaged in Rehmatullahi ’Alaih imamat according to the Hanafi Madh'hab Rehmatullahi ’Alaih, and other madh'habs. The Imam must have knowledge of the Qur'an al kareem, and the sunnah, be compliant of the Qur'an and the sunnah (muttaqi), and it is within this that him observing the keeping of a beard as being necessary (wajib), is important to him.


May Allah the Almighty help us all to realise the importance of the sunnah, and its effect upon the performance of worship, especially amongst Imams.
