Is it permissible for a person with urinary incontinence to lead the prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does a person with urinary incontinence pray in congregation?

Answer:
The well-known view among scholars is that he should not lead people in prayer; he should pray as a follower. However, I do not know of a clear evidence regarding this; because he is excused, if he leads people in prayer, the prayer is valid. Therefore, it is perhaps better for him to avoid this, in order to avoid the difference of opinion.
