FASIKH LEADER??

salam!! hi people!! hope u'r doing fine... just finish method of da'wah class.. and we were having two(2) presentations. There was a presentation about the characteristics of a leader.. n bla..bla..bla.. all of a sudden, ustaz asked one of the presenter this interesting question.. confusing.. and haunted my mind until now..

'okay.. you have been telling me all those characteristics that we need upon a leader in a country.. now in your point of view, which do you prefer, a leader who is fasikh but know how to lead, know how to manage.. or rather a leader who is pious, but cant lead..?'

and surprisingly, the presenter said, 'i would choose 1st. because the leader who cant spread or transmit the da'wah has failed as a person himself.. those who know the hukm, the condition and the rules who witness a wrongdoings.. but doing nothing to stop it from happen is worse than evil.'

and the ustaz said, 'good. u may continue...'

and my mind said, 'what??? bleh ek??'

and here is the definition of fasikh:

corrupt – antithesis of ‘adil, according to some scholars, or synonymous with kafir (disbeliever) according to others.
from
-FIQH TERMINOLOGY-

n here's the real confusion. As a political science student, i have been taught a lot about philosophy, government and institutions. we've been exposed to scholars theories on good qualities of a leader.. keep aside western thinkers, among Muslim scholars themselves; piety and virtue(knowledge) come first. a fasikh doesnt fit because he failed the requirement. i got that point.

but now, the ustaz claim the opposite.

......*berfikir*
.........*berfikir lagi*
............*dan terus berfikir....*

*err....*

here's my thought..

to lead is not what you get as soon as you were born.. a lot of skills required, true. but you can always learn, its all there in the Qur'an and Sunnah. and a good leader is one who can guide the subordinate to the right path.. not the other way around.. true?

but how come a fasikh can be a leader?

i need to make myself clear on this issue so could you, my thoughtful bloggers friends, readers and indirect teachers.. please give your piece of thought on this issue... so, i can regain my peaceful state of mind...
