What is the ruling on an imam leaving his mosque for a month and appointing the mu'adhdhin and some trustworthy people to deliver the sermons?

Question:
The questioner says: An imam and khatib left his mosque for a month and appointed the mu'adhdhin and some trustworthy people to deliver the sermons. Is this action valid?

Answer:
This has a system in the Department of Mosques. If the imam and khatib needs to travel or needs to be absent, he goes to the office of the Endowments or the Department of Mosques and gets permission from them. It is obligatory to have permission. If they give him permission, he appoints someone suitable for delivering the sermon and leading the prayer until he returns. This has a system in the Department of Mosques; he consults them, specifically the nearest office of the Department of Mosques to him, and they grant him the dispensation. As for him going without a dispensation, no. Yes.
