Advice to the imams who appoint others to lead the prayer in their place

Question:
Advice to the imams who receive salaries from the state and hire other imams of different nationalities to pray on your behalf.

Answer:
A position is generally a trust, . , “Indeed, Allah commands you” — this is an address to the rulers, the ones in authority, to deliver the trusts, meaning the positions, to those who are qualified for the work and who will carry it out. So, whoever takes on any position, it is a trust that he must fulfill, and the mosque is the most important; leading the mosque is the most important, a religious trust. Therefore, it is not permissible for the imam to appoint someone else except in the case of an excuse. If he has an excuse, such as travel or illness, he appoints someone to pray on his behalf. But if he appoints someone else out of laziness or indifference, this is not permissible for him; it is forbidden for him.
So if he does not commit to leading the prayer, he should leave it so that someone else who will carry it out can take its place. This is a trust.
