The Imamate of One Afflicted with Involuntary Urination

Question:
The Shaykh said that the doctors are correct that the one afflicted with involuntary urination is not permitted to lead the prayer, and what is the meaning of the statement that his prayer is valid and his leading of the prayer is valid?

Answer:
The prayer of one who has involuntary urination is not valid for him to lead anyone except one like himself, that is, one who is afflicted with involuntary urination like him. As for leading one who is sound, it is not permissible, because he has been granted a dispensation to pray while in a state of ritual impurity; he has been granted a dispensation to pray while in a state of ritual impurity, so he does not lead one who is sound. And whoever’s prayer is valid, his leading of the prayer is valid, in the case of one who is not afflicted with involuntary urination. This is in the case of one who is not afflicted, a sound person. Yes.
