The Imam of Friday Prayer (Arabic: امام صلاة الجمعة) or Imam Jom'a (Jumu'ah)[1][2][3] is the person who conducts the Friday prayer and preaches related sermons. The Imams of Friday Prayer are expected to be distinguished for their intellect ('Aql), faith, and rightfulness. Traditionally, a Friday prayer 'Imam' is required to be male and a legitimate child.[4] Moreover, it is recommended (Mustahab) that the Imam be eloquent, brave, and watchful on prayer times, and also true to his speech.[5]

There are many unanimous rulings (Ahkam) between Islamic denominations regarding the Friday prayer, but there are some different requirements when it comes to the Imam Jom'a. For instance, while there is a consensus about the five conditions: puberty, intellect, correctness of reciting, being man and not to be excusable, there are also disagreements. Disagreements include: the requirement of being Mo'menThe conditions of Imam Jom'a from the view of Islamic denominations hawzah.net retrieved 7 May 2018</ref>[6][7]

According to Islam, when an infallible Imam (Ma'sum) is present, the (ranking) officer of Friday Imam is related to him or to the person who is appointed by him.[8][9]

The permanent Imam Jom'a of every city can reach an agreement on others as temporary Imams Jom'a.[10][11]
