Your argument may be valid in the afternoons at winter time but you know how the UK summer times are maulana.

Im sorry maulana,you can maybe have that argument for afternoons but mornings are a open time.

summer time fajr is at about 4.30 am and zuhr at 1.30pm.

winter time fajr at about 7.15 am and zuhr is 12.30 pm.

summer time asr is about 6pm

winter time asr is about 3pm

so i can understand time limts in winter afternoon but in the summer,the day is pretty open for time and mornings are pretty open all year.

My main argument was that just because a person is putting in less time doesn't necessarily mean that they should be getting paid less. I also told you that one person gets $10 per hour and another person gets $200 per hour. I guess that is not fair to you right. Same time but different pay.

Many Masjids have a full time Islamic school attached to the Masjids and the Imams teach there in the day time. But most masjids don't. So what exactly do you want the Imam to do in the day time to justify decent wages? Clean the Masjid? Wash the bathrooms? Count how many blades of grass are in the front of the Masjid? Seriously...why do you think the Imam has to be physically working for 9 hours a day to get paid decent wages? I just told you about a person who works one hour long and gets paid 20 times more than a person who works for the same amount of time. So just because an Imam is not physically involved every single day for long periods of time doesn't necessarily mean that he should be paid as if he is only working 3 hours a day. Fine, even if he is only working 3 or five hours a day according to you, then at least keep the pay per hour at the higher end of the scale. Why should they get paid minimum wages if that and say that they should only get paid for three hours or five hours and the minimum pay per hour.

As soon as an Imam starts working in the daytime somewhere else because of low wages, the same people start complaining as well. Which means they have no respect for their religious leaders and have an inner desire to make sure that their religious leaders are the lowest paid people. The Imam does more work and is busier than the priests and rabbis but Muslim religious leaders get paid much lower than average Christian and Jewish religious leaders.
