Question
The Imaam of the Musjid is absent most of the time. He nominates someone to lead the Salaat when he is not present. Is this Imaam entitled to his full salary?
Answer
If this imam is being paid from the Waqf funds of the Musjid, then it is haraam to pay him the full salary, and it is haraam for him to accept a full salary. It is Waajib to deduct for absenteeism.
