Rules for Imam

1. The person who knows the masa'il (rules) of salaah well, provided he is not a fasiq (an open sinner).

2. Then a person who can recite the holy Qur'an well.

3. Thereafter a person who is pious.

4. Then the oldest person.

5. Then the good-mannered and kind. However, if there is a fixed Imam in a musjid, then he will still deserve the honour to be the Imam.

Note: It is makruh to make as Imam, a fasiq, an ignorant person or one who indulges in bid'at (innovation) or one who is not very careful in observing the rules of shari'ah.
