Can we read namaaz behind an Imaam who wears a saudi scarf?
Question
ne Mufti said we cannot and another said that we can. The latter says ?Mufti Rashid? of Pakistan said it is fine? If we cannot then please tell me the reason, and do I have to repeat all those namaazes behind that saudi scarf imaam?
Answer
Shari'ah does not prohibit using a Saudi scarf. The Salaat behind an Imaam using a Saudi scarf is valid.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
