In the early hours of yesterday, after Subh prayer, a scholar (alfa) was suspended in the Mosque. He was relieved of his duty in the mosque (i.e., giving lectures). I sat there quietly and listened as to why he was served the ban. Apparently, He had slapped another person the night before right in the mosque.

This is not the first time I have witnessed suspention being dished out in this same Mosque. And to top it, the suspention verdict was placed by a committee. Note that this committee is permanent and perform other functions too.

Now my questions are:

Is it permitted under Shari'a to suspend someone in the mosque?

Also, is it Islamical to set up a committee in the mosque, irrespective of functions?

Having committee in mosques is for the purpose of organising events and consultations. There is nothing wrong with it.

As regards the suspension, the man was relieved of duties for hitting a person in the mosque showing disregard for Allah Himself. If he was given a duty in the mosque to perform, he can certainly be relieved of it. Imams can be fired a well if they stump to such lows.

In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with what has been done. They have not stopped him from coming to the mosque just from giving lectures as a result of indiscipline.

Thank you for the prompt reply. I appreciate that.

In fact, Allah talked and praised His Prophet for his excellent virtue. You are simply not qualify once your words (sermon) do not conform with your deeds. I wonder what this kind of alfa will preach on akhlaq (morals). Surprisingly, their kind might be good in delivering sermons/lectures but followers hardly follow what they say since they failed as a role model (character-wise).
