Setting a schedule for the reciters in a mosque that has a regular imam

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible to establish a schedule for a group of readers to lead people in prayer in a mosque that has a permanent imam, with the permission of the permanent imam, with the intention of calling people, and sometimes lessons are held in this mosque, which encourages people to attend?

The Shaykh:
In Ramadan. Yes.

The questioner:
Or any time you wish.

The Shaykh:
Repeat the question.

The questioner:
Is it permissible to establish a schedule for a group of readers to lead people in prayer in a mosque that has a permanent imam?

The Shaykh:
What is the salary and where does it go? No, this is not suitable. If this imam is present, he leads the congregation and does not step aside from the mosque and bring in another imam? The readers should be distributed to the mosques where there is no one. Yes.
