Imaam making masah on socks

· 28 Jumada I 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

The place where I live is a very cold place so the imam of the mosque always wears normal socks and does masah on the socks. Is it better to pray behind him without doubting or pray behind him and repeat the namaz make jamaat at home with one's family members? Which option do you recommend?

Answer

If it is confirmed that he makes masah on normal socks then read your namaaz at another musjid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
