SHAFAQNA – The Grand Ayatollah Khamenei answered questions about the father being the prayer/Salaat leader at home.
Question: Is it allowed to perform Salaat with the father as the prayer leader at home? What is the ruling if the father does not wish to be the prayer leader and without his knowledge we pray behind him?
The Grand Ayatollah Khamenei: There is no problem if all the conditions for the prayer leader exist; rather it is Mostahab. Of course if there is an access to a cleric, then no need to follow a non-cleric.
