One who prayed Fajr in congregation and then found evidence of a wet dream

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I prayed Fajr in congregation, and when I returned home I found evidence of a wet dream. Is it obligatory for me to repeat the prayer?

Answer:
Yes. Did he pray in congregation, or with a congregation? Was there an imam and no ma'mum? In any case, he must repeat the prayer. It is obligatory for him to repeat it. If he was the imam, it is obligatory for him to repeat it alone, and the congregation's prayer is valid, as long as he did not know until after the prayer was completed. The congregation's prayer is valid, and he repeats the prayer. Yes, this is what 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) did. He may have led the people in Fajr, yes.
