Repeating the prayer when a defect in the imam’s ablution is discovered
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I prayed as the imam in a congregation, and after the prayer, one of the congregation members told me that he had seen water did not reach your foot during the first part of the prayer. So I repeated my prayer. Is my action correct? And is it obligatory for the one who informed me to repeat his prayer?
Answer:
As mentioned previously, certainty is required. A defect in the ablution must be certain. Mere doubt or suspicion after the ablution is complete, after finishing it, if doubt or suspicion arises, this is not sufficient. You are in a state of purity, and certainty is not removed by doubt. But if it is established, if it is established that your ablution was not complete, then if you realize this while you are in the prayer, you exit the prayer and do not continue. And if it is not realized until after the prayer, then the prayer of the followers who did not know is valid. You perform the ablution and repeat the prayer. And the one who knew with you and continued with you also repeats the prayer, because he knows that you were not in a state of purity and continued with you. Yes.
