The Imam of Friday Prayer (
Arabic: امام صلاة الجمعة), or Imam
Jom'a (Jumu'ah),
[1]
[2]
[3] is the person who conducts the
Friday prayer in
Islam and preaches related
sermons.
[4]
[5]
[6]
Qualifications to serve
An Imam of Friday Prayer is expected to be distinguished for intellect ( 'Aql), faith ( Iman), and righteousness. Traditionally, a Friday prayer imam must be male and, according to some, also of legitimate birth. [7] Moreover, it is recommended ( Mustahab) that the imam be eloquent, brave, watchful of prayer times, and true in his speech. [8]
There are many rulings ( Ahkam) regarding the Friday prayer that are common across the various branches and schools of Islam, but there are differences when it comes to qualifications. For instance, while there is a consensus about the five conditions—adulthood, intellect, correctness in reciting, and not otherwise excluded—there are disagreements as to the requirement to be a Mo'men (believer). [9] [10] [11]
Infallible imams
Historically in Shi’a Islam, when an infallible imam ( Ma'sum) is present, the position of Friday Imam is assumed by him or someone he appoints. [12] [13]
Temporary imams
The permanent Imam Jom'a of a city may appoint others to this office in a temporary capacity. [14] [15]
