What is the ruling on praying behind an amrad?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Prayer behind an "amrad" (beardless youth) is valid if he fulfills the conditions of imamate. Some scholars have mentioned a tanzih-related (disapproving but not prohibitory) dislike for his imamate, meaning that someone else is more deserving. This dislike may be due to the beauty of his face, which could be a source of temptation (fitna).
