    The Imam of Friday Prayer (

    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 (

    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]
