Question:
The other question, may Allah reward you. Muhammad from Riyadh says: If the imam or a person praying alone remembers after the opening takbir that he is not in a state of wudu', what is the ruling in this case?
Answer:
The ruling is that it is obligatory for him to leave, perform wudu', and start the prayer anew, because he entered it without wudu'. The congregation and the ma'mums wait until he comes and prays with them, or he appoints a substitute to pray with them in his place.
