The ruling on an imam who is afflicted with something that invalidates his prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the imam prays and then something occurs that invalidates his prayer, how should he proceed in this situation?
Answer:
He should leave, and notify the people. If wind comes out of him, or urine, he should break off the prayer and appoint someone to lead them in completing the rest of the prayer. That is, he should appoint a substitute to lead them in the remainder of the prayer. If he leaves without appointing a substitute, they should choose one of those they approve of from among those in the front row. They should bring one of them forward to lead the people until the prayer is completed for them. And praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
