People living in the 50-houses Çomak village, in Adaklı District, said that despite the fact that the village has imam cadre, they can’t perform five times salath, Friday, and Eid prayer together. Also complained that they call an imam from neighboring villages for burials when someone loses their lives in their lives.

Mehmet Köse, a 70-year-old resident in the village of Çomak, reacted to the lack of an imam in their 500-population villages.

Köse who said that they made mosque and imam house with their own efforts, “There is no imam in the mosque, but there is imam cadre in our village. So many people live in the village. Who will wash burial when someone dies? Those who designate such places are given to the central provinces, other places. We have a lot of problems. Our elders lived here.”

“We cannot perform Friday prayers because there is no imam”

Another village resident who said that they could not perform Friday prayers because they did not have an imam in their village and that they made their prayers on their own, also wanted the Diyanet authorities to solve this problem.
