Is the regular imam who arrives late permitted to order the repetition of the prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the imam arrives after they have already prayed, is it permissible for him to order them to repeat the prayer?

Answer:
It is not permissible for him, it is not permissible for him... so how can he order them to repeat it? However, they should not proceed with the prayer until the usual time for his arrival has passed.
