The ruling on a person with incontinence leading the prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The imam of a mosque was involved in an accident that broke his back, which affected the nerves in his body and caused him to suffer from incontinence. The question is: What is the ruling on his leading the people in prayer in this condition?

Answer:
It is not permissible for him to lead the people in prayer while urine is coming from him without his control. This is a permanent state of ritual impurity for him, so he prays for himself and does not lead the people. Yes.
