The ruling on seeking the position of "mosque imam" for the sake of housing, expenses, and assistance in obeying Allah

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A person says: I want to look for a mosque to be its imam so that it will help me with my expenses and my wife's expenses, and through that it will help me with obedience. What is the ruling on this work?

Answer:
The criterion is intentions and purposes. If your intention is greed, do not take on the imamate. If your intention is the imamate and drawing near to Allah, and it helps you with obeying Allah and preserving the Qur'an, and you take what is given to you to assist in that, then there is no harm. The criterion is the purposes. Yes.
