The ruling on the imam delegating the leading of the prayer to another for the performance of 'Umrah

Question:
This questioner says: I would like to perform 'Umrah, and I am the imam of a mosque. I want to delegate one of my companions to lead my congregation in prayer during the ten days, even though I am the one who leads them in tarawih.

Answer:
My brother, your commitment to leading the prayer in your mosque is better for you than 'Umrah. Because your commitment to the mosque is a trust. And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The imam is a guarantor." Meaning, he guarantees the prayer of those behind him. So you have undertaken the responsibility of leading the prayer and committed to it. Before the authority responsible for mosques, so you must fulfill this commitment, and lead the worshippers from the beginning of the month to the end in your mosque, and this is better for you than 'Umrah. Yes.
