Abstract
Since man is a social and civil being by nature, he is bound to live in society, but it goes without saying that the conflict of interests in society inevitably leads to many social frictions and challenges that may make society insecure and deprive it of the necessary comfort. The holy law of Islam, which pays close attention to this aspect of the lives of its followers, has provided effective platforms in view of the emergence of dangers and problematic challenges in social life and has presented effective solutions to confront potential dangers in society. One of these platforms is the order to hold a weekly gathering in the form of Friday prayers so that Friday preachers who are trusted by society can, through a public platform, advise people to implement the laws and obey the divine commands and point out the harms of breaking the law and disobeying the social commands of Islam, which makes the emergence of corruption inevitable. But what is the problem and what are the social corruptions? And what duties do Friday imams have in confronting these corruptions in line with their heavy mission, and in what context can they fight against these corruptions? These are two questions that this article answers by utilizing jurisprudential sources and using a descriptive-analytical method, and has reached the conclusion that Friday imams have a prominent role in combating and confronting social corruptions, and this is a duty that jurisprudence has assigned to them based on Quran and hadith.
