Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: One of the imams was praying, then he interrupted his prayer and ordered the congregation to wait for a few minutes. He went and performed ablution, then he repeated the prayer. What is the ruling on his action?

Yes, this is the correct position, because he entered the prayer without being in a state of ablution. So he goes and performs ablution and starts the prayer anew. Yes.
