Azaan and Iqaamah given by someone without a Beard.

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by DarulUloomTT.net

Question:

A person shaves his beard as well as a young boy whose beard has not grown out as yet. Is it proper for them to call out the Azan and Iqaamah or not?

Answer:

A person who shaves his beard is committing a sin, and as such to appoint him to call out the Azan and Iqaamah is Makhrooh Tahrimi. However if he calls out the Azan or Iqaamah it will not be Wajib to repeat it. As for the young boy (minor) whose beard has not grown out as yet, if he is sensible and has full understanding of the Azan and Iqaamah and has full knowledge of the timings of the Salaat then it is proper for him to call out the Azaan and Iqaamah.

As for those under him (a minor who does not have full understanding) then it is not proper for him to call out the Azan and Iqaamah. If he does then it should be repeated. A person who is Baligh (i.e. one who has reached the age of puberty) and his beard does not grow, he can call Azan and Iqaamah.

About 2 years ago I had very severe problems with doubts in taharah and salat. AlhamduLillah, these times are far away, and I feel myself much more comfortable. But unfortunately now I suffer from some new doubts which appeared recently. The first problem is regarding materials which doesn’t penetrate water. Before wudhu I’m in doubt whether there are some of them on my heels and near nails. For example, if I have few yarns stuck to my heels, I don’t know whether they are synthetic ones (which don’t penetrate water) or not. Because there are just a few yarns, I can’t advocate whether they penetrate water or not. Also sometimes I find hair stuck to my nails or heels, and again I’m in doubt whether it penetrates water or not. Also if I have some dirt, I’m also in doubt whether it contains some small amount of water-not-penetrating materials. So, my wudhu becomes quite a long procedure, where I try to look at my heels and nails thoroughly trying to remove all the dirt, yarns, stuck pieces of hair. The second problem is in washing my face. I know that we can’t wash one limb with water which was used for washing another limb. So the doubt is as follows: if washing the face my palms will touch hair, I start to think, that on my hands there is water which was used washing my hair, not the face, so I wash my hands, and continue washing the face with new water. The other problem is that I don’t know what part of eyes should I wash – I understand that we don’t need to wash eyes themselves, but what’s about the red area which is near roots of eyelashes (above, under, right and left to eyes)?
