Question:
Assalaamualaikum to all,
I was recently asked to lead a prayer which I accepted with fear as I heard that those with missed prayers should avoid leading prayers and also I was afraid I was going to lead them wrong.
I lead the Isha prayer silently and then got told afterwards that I should have lead it silently. Out of embarrassment I lied to get out of the embarrassment.
Was that prayer accepted and is there a way to repent for my sin? Please pray for my parents and me.
Salaat and salaams on Prophet (S.A.W) and his family!
Assalaamualaikum
Answer:
Wa`alaykumussalam,
In your case, avoid leading prayers for the time being, and take the opportunity to learn more on Fard ‘Ain.
