The Council of Ministers headed by King Salman passed new rules and regulations regarding the appointment of Imams and Muadhins in Masjid Al Haram and Masjid Al Nabawi
Previously the appointments were made on either direct Royal Decree or were based on hereditary.
The decision of appointments will be made by a council of the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Haramain headed by the President of GPH who is currently Sheikh Abdul Rehman Al Sudais.
Imams and Muadhins will be appointed on four years contracts which can be renewed, with the exception of Taraweeh Imams whose appointment to lead Jahrih Salat will be made the council at the conclusion of Ramadan.
According to the new rules for appointment of an Imam, an individual has to be a Saudi National, who has full capacity and experience of being an Imam , has a distinctive and good voice and holds at least one master’s degree from one of the faculties of forensic sciences in the Kingdom, and is a guardian of the Holy Quran (Hafiz)
For appointment of Muadhins, the individual has to be a Saudi National, have a good voice, experience, and the need to obtain a scientific degree not less than a bachelor degree from one of the faculties of Islamic sciences in the Kingdom.
New Restrictions have been imposed on Imams such as they cannot attend or hold public speaking events without and travel abroad to attend an event without permission, have social media accounts.
Imams and Muadhins can be terminated if they fail to perform their duties or be relieved of their duties at the expiration of their contracts at the behest of the council.

Waiting for your favourable response.

i would like to imam of haramain insha'Allah
I wish this chance would be given to any Muslim across the world with the qualifications… We pray to Allah to fulfill our wishes, I am raising my son with the hope that he will someday when he grows up be an imaan at the Haramain… Let's look at the example of Bilal Inn Rabah n how he was honoured… Give the rest of the Muslims the chance and pleasure of being an imaan or muadhin… So long as they meet the merits, and that would truly show Muslims brotherhood, we are one Ummah.
GREAT! THIS REGULATIONS HELPS IN OBTAINING CONTROL OVER WHAT THE IMAM SPEAKS AND ACTS ACCORDING TO THE LOSER SAUDI REGIME. SAUDI ARABIA HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO AUTHORITY TO DECIDE WHICH PARTICULAR NATIONALITY WILL BE THE IMAM.JUST LIKE UAE SAUDI WOULD SOON ACCEPT ISRAEL AND BETRAY PALESTINIANS. THE RULES ARE IN EXACT HARMONY AS TO HAVE CONTROL OVER THE IMAMS.
