Description
Question
From the logical (ʿaqlī) and Islamic legal (sharʿī) perspective, why is it that
children born out of wedlock (illegitimate children), despite the fact that
they may be good people, are not allowed to lead congregational (jamāʿat)
prayers?
Answer
The religious scholars (ʿulemā) and the Muslim jurists (fuqahāʾ) have stated
that: “The individual who leads the congregational prayers must possess
certain traits and characteristics, and one of these is that they must be from
legitimate birth.”1
