Question

The designated imam of the mosque is standing in prayer. One of them said from behind, "The prayer is not performed leaving the great scholar behind." Even before the birth of the so-called "great scholar", Imam Sahib used to offer regular prayers without pay. After the congregation was over, the great scholar announced that no one had prayed. He had to repeat the prayer and he repeated the prayer. The question is what is the condition of Imamate? 2434253261


Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

The conditions for Imamate are as follows: (1) To be aware of the matters of prayer. That is, to know the obligatory and wajib and sunnat-mustahab of prayer. Knowing by what matters the prayer is ruined, by what means Sahu Sijdah is obligatory etc. (2) To memorize the Qur'an so correctly that one can recite the Sunnah of the prayer. (3) To have taqwa and abstinence, that is, to abstain from sinful and haraam deeds and bid'at. A person with such a high standard can be appointed as Imamate. After the appointment of the Imam, he is the most suitable person for the Imamate of the mosque. No great scholar would actually be more suitable than he. In that case, the prayer will be correct in the Imamate of the appointed Imam, not in repetition. But yes, Imam Sahib, who is destined to show respect, can nominate a great scholar for Imamate. It is his prerogative. It's good for him, not urgent. If the imam of the mosque is not qualified, then it is the responsibility of the mutawalli or the committee to appoint a suitable imam. Otherwise, they will be sinners and in the mosque of such an incompetent Imam, the qualified scholar will have to stand first for the Imamate. And in such a situation, if the prescribed incompetent Imam prays, it must be repeated. Because, in the presence of the Sahih reciter, if the wrong reciter performs the prayer, everyone's prayer is ruined. 9646615283
