I led the Maghrib prayer, and after I said the closing salam, I told the congregation to repeat their prayer because I was not in a state of ritual purity?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I led the Maghrib prayer, and after I said the closing salam, I told the congregation to repeat their prayer because I was not in a state of ritual purity. Is my action correct?

Answer:
If you realized that you were not in a state of ritual purity during the prayer, then the prayer of everyone is invalid, and it was obligatory for you to leave, and it is not permissible for you to continue the prayer. However, if you did not realize it until after you had said the closing salam, then the prayer of the congregation is valid, and you are the only one who repeats the prayer. Yes.
