IMAMAT

The general rule for the Imamat is that the best among the worshippers shall be the Imam. The best, according to the tradition, is one who could recite the Quran well and is well versed in it. The next man fit for Imamat is one who is well acquainted with the Hadis and Sunnat of the Prophet. The rulers and their officers are entitled to lead prayers within their jurisdiction. If any Imam has already been appointed for any Mosque, he is entitled to lead prayer unless he gives permission to somebody else. Nothing bars a blind man from becoming an Imam. The best Imam is he who is liked by the “Muqtadis,” and the worst Imam is he who is disliked by them.
