Who has the main say in a Musjid - the Imaam or the Committee?

Answer

In this era, the Musjid committee is the ruling body of the Musjid. The Imaam is a paid employee bound by the work contract he has entered into with the committee. If any of the terms of the contract are in conflict with the Shariah or dishonourable, then it is not permissible for a man to take up such employment. However, today almost all Musjid imaams are mercenaries, hence they submit to the haraam dictates of fussaaq Musjid committees.
