Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If the imam prays without ritual purity and then realizes this during the prayer

He exits the prayer; he does not continue. It is not permissible for him to continue. Rather, he exits the prayer.

He does not continue without ritual purity. This is forbidden; it is not permissible. Yes.
