May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Who is the imam for whom the Friday prayer is waived? Is it the imam of the obligatory prayers or the one who delivers the sermon?

The Friday prayer is not waived for the imam; he must attend. If someone attends with him, he prays it as Jumu'ah; otherwise, he prays it as Zuhr. It is waived for him only if no one attends with him.
