**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** A brief last point on praying behind a sinful imam, then the conversation ends for a radio show.

## Longer summary

One speaker raises a passage on an imam who allows his wife to go out uncovered, and the other asks for the reference; mention is made of the difference of opinion over praying behind a sinful (fasiq) imam, the sound opinion being that one may. One of the two then says he has to get to a radio show, they talk briefly about webcams, and agree to continue another time.

## Sources and names cited

- Ustadh Abdus Shakur Brooks (guest)
- fasiq (openly sinful person)

[37:42] I mean or let's say even if it's from the point is that if you do bring a fatwa okay we'll then at that stage we'll okay take a look at it and then we'll explore it in contrast with what other people that have challenged it and then we'll see where we stand because right now is no fatwa like this so that we're discussing anyway so there's no fatwa that we're discussing so there's no point just hypothetically suggesting things so let's if we have a fatwa then we can contrast it with contrasting opinions all right have you have you come across the between concerning the IM who allows his wife to go out

[38:20] uncovered right uh the Imam who goes who allows his wife to go out uncovered okay I mean refer me to it inshallah give me the the reference for it and I'll I'll take a look at got of know it comes there's a difference of opinion whether or not it's permissible to pray behind a fasic or not that's one of our but the sound opinion is that you can right we don't we don't say that although it's an opinion from Malik it's not it's not to relied upon can I uh be ever so you know what I've got to actually get to a radio show right and I'm actually running
