Azaan of a person who shaves his beard
Question
The azan of such a person, who shaves or trims his beard less than a fist is Makrooh tahreemi, is that particular person committing a sin at the same time while giving the azan.
Does such a person receive the rewards mentioning in the ahadith for giving azan (same amount, less or not at all).
Answer
A person who shaves his beard is a open sinnner. Hence, he is not allowed to call out the Azaan. He should sincerely repent for his sin and grow a beard. Thereafter he can call out the Azaan.
If he repents he will receive the reward.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
