Imam with trimmed beard and reading taraveeh with Quran in hands

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org
Further to your answer of question 512 – We have only one mosque where we live in USA. Imam keeps trimmed beard, holds Quran in taraveeh and reads, at times his trousers are below ankles. He does not belong to hanafi fiqh. Should hanafi read prayers in Jamat behind him and in taraveeh? It does not appear that we will have a different Imam in the near future. Even if Imam is not holding Quran in taraveeh (as he has memorized 10 para) – Muslims of other fiqh hold it in there hands and give luqma if he is forgetting something. What should we do in these circumstances. What is the best way to deal with this issue short of migrating from such places?
Your Taraweeh is not correct in this case, you should pray it at home. If you find some people to pray with you its better otherwise pray by yourself.
