Clean shaven person leading the salaah

Answered by 

Shaykh Ebrahim Salejee

Q:

1. Is it permissible for a person who is clean shaven (due to medical reasons – acne) to be Imaam of salaah?

2. If yes, would it still be permissible when there are Ulama and Huffaaz who would meet all requirements of an Imaam?

Bismillaah

A: It is makrooh for a clean shaven person to lead the namaaz.

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