The trend is when the Imaams of the Haramain are touring other countries then they are given the Imaamat of Esha Salaat in the Masajid.

Is it not the right of the appointed Imaam to lead all Salaahs no matter how big a Shaykh, Imaam, Mufti might be present in the congregation?

Is it not the right of a local to perform Imaamat over a traveller?

السلام عليكم

I believe it's out of love, respect and to honour an Imam of Haramain Sharafain that local Imam happily request the visiting dignitary to lead the Jamah and forgoes his own rights.

To avoid confusion, the local Imam should inform the congregation that Imam will pray only 2 Rakah and Muqtadees should complete the remaining two Rakah.

And to add, this phenomena of the Imaams of the Haram visiting and touring is a recent development, at least in South Africa. You do have a point here, brother.
