If the imam delivers the sermon while in a state of major ritual impurity, how does he pray afterward?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes, Sami. And we said that the imam can stand while in a state of major ritual impurity, and then the prayer comes to us. Is the separation between the ghusl from major ritual impurity and the prayer and the sermon correct?
The Shaykh : What do you say, everyone?
The questioner : Yes. A teacher.
The Shaykh : He can go, perform the ghusl, and come back. It has happened many times. No, the separation of the cabin is not a condition of continuity; it is not a condition.
The questioner : But a comment, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : No, no, he prays. This is one thing. Perhaps, as the brothers said, someone else prays. Is that not possible? It is possible.
The questioner : And he has not killed, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Even if it were to come to us that it is not required for one person to perform both.
