Question:
This questioner says: I prayed the Fajr prayer while present, then I slept after Fajr. I got up for work and went to work. Then, after the Zuhr prayer, I led the people in prayer as the imam. When I finished the prayer and went to the restroom, I found semen on my clothes from after the Fajr prayer, though I did not know it. I realized that I had led the people in prayer while I was not in a state of ritual purity. What is the ruling?
Answer:
He mentions that he had a wet dream and did not know about it until he found the trace after he had led the people in prayer. The people's prayer is valid, but as for your prayer, you must perform the full ritual bath and repeat it. Yes.
