Is it permissible for the mosque imam to relinquish the imamate to someone else without the knowledge of the Waqf?

Question:
He asks: Is it permissible for the mosque imam to relinquish the imamate to one of the members of the mosque congregation without the knowledge of the Waqf?

Answer:
No, no, this is not permissible. This is a matter that returns to the Waqf. If he wants to relinquish it, he goes to the Waqf and informs them of his relinquishment and that so-and-so is suitable to be the imam of the mosque. The Waqf is the one that takes charge of appointing, taking charge of his hand, and appointing the other, for the affairs of the Waqf. The mosque is not his property for him to dispose of as he pleases? The mosque has a specialized department that supervises it. Yes.
