Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. The listener, Hasan Ibrahim 'Alim, sent a question and says: Regarding a traveling person who is not a resident, is it permissible for him to lead the people as imam in the Friday prayer? May Allah reward you with good. Is it permissible for him to lead the people as imam on Friday?

Answer:
If he meets the conditions, the conditions for being an imam, and the conditions for the Friday sermon, then he prays with them, especially if they are in need of him and there is no one else to perform this duty, in which case it becomes obligatory for him. However, if he is not qualified to be an imam in the Friday prayer, then it is not permissible for him to do so. Yes.
