Khatib
In Islam, akhatiborkhateeb(Arabic:خطيبkhaṭīb) is a person who delivers thesermon(khuṭbah) (literally "narration" ), during theFriday prayerandEid prayers.[1]
Thekhateebis usually the prayer leader (imam), but the two roles can be played by different people. The khatib should be knowledgeable of how to lead the prayer and be competent in delivering the speech (khutba) however there are no requirements of eligibility to become a khatib beyond being an Adult Muslim. Some Muslims believe the khatib has to be male but women do leadFriday prayersin number of places.
Women may be khateebahs.Edina Lekovićgave the inauguralkhutbaat theWomen's Mosquein 2015.[2][3]
