Q: There's a few brothers in a masjid who usually don't like when any scholars from different localities come to their masjid, when jamaat comes and even their own Imaams. They find fault in them. For example, they say that one person is reading too fast, another is making ruku and sajdah too long and they only come when the Imaam has to go on the mimbar for the khutbah.
Will their Salaah be accepted like how they don't appreciate their Imaams? Please advise as to what the normal brothers can do and also what the Imaams can do.
A: The namaaz being valid is a different thing altogether. The person who fulfils all the requirements of salaah his salaah is valid. But degrading the people of deen is a major sin. If they do not correct themselves then they are asking for problems.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
