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?
Answer:
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.
