The Ruling on the Prayer of an Imam Who Is in a State of Ritual Impurity or Has Impurity on Him

Answer:
If he is in a state of ritual impurity, or if he knows that he has ritual impurity on him and cannot remove it, then the prayer of the imam and the congregation is invalid, and they must restart it from the beginning after the imam has purified himself or is replaced by someone else to lead them in prayer. Yes.

May Allah reward you and benefit us with your knowledge. Our dear brothers, this was all that the time allowed for this episode of the program explaining *Zad al-Mustaqni' fi Ikhtisar al-Muqni'* by the Honorable Shaykh Salih ibn Fawzan al-Fawzan. May Allah reward our Shaykh for the clarification he has graciously provided, and thank you for your good listening. May He benefit us and you with what we say and hear. This is a greeting from my colleague in sound engineering, Fahd ibn Muhammad al-Othman, to close.
