Hadith #17

سَعْدٌ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« لاَ بَأْسَ بِأَنْ يُصَلِّيَ اَلْأَعْمَى بِالْقَوْمِ وَ إِنْ كَانُوا هُمُ اَلَّذِينَ يُوَجِّهُونَهُ»

Sa’ad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ibn Abi Umayr from Hammad ibn Uthman from Ubaydullah ibn Ali al-Halabi from Abi Abdillah , peace be upon him, who said: Imam al-Sadiq said: “There is no problem if the blind man leads the people in prayer, even if they are the ones who direct him.”
