The main requirements for the Imam of Jama'ah are:

1. He be well versed in the rulings of fiqh and prayer in particular. 
2. A man of piety and righteousness, with inner taqwa, high moral standards, and 'adalah, which means he does not commit regular sin. 
3. His pronunciation and recitation is accurate.
