Ruling on the imam leading the congregation in prayer when he has a wound

A message was received for the program from Syria, sent by one of the brothers there, identified as (A. A. H.). Our brother asks: What is the ruling on one who leads people in congregational prayer while having a wound?
Answer: If the wound has some bandages on it that can be wiped over, or if he performs dry ablution (tayammum) for it because there are no bandages on it, and he performs the ritual ablution (wudu') according to the Shari'ah, then performs tayammum for the location of the wound, his prayer is valid, and praise be to Allah. That does not harm. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed with his Companions after he was struck by the injuries he received on the Day of Uhud, (peace and blessings be upon him), while he was their imam (peace and blessings be upon him). He treated them and prayed with them (peace and blessings be upon him). Similarly, his thigh was split in Medina, and he fell from his mount and sat in his house for a period, while he continued to pray with his Companions (peace and blessings be upon him). There is no blame in that. Yes.
The presenter: If there is a dressing on the wound, then...
The Shaykh: If there is a dressing on it, he wipes over it. If it is exposed and it is not possible to put a dressing or bandage on it, he performs the wudu' for prayer, then performs tayammum with the intention for the location of the wound.
The presenter: May Allah reward you. The concern is only if the wound is bleeding, is it not?
The Shaykh: If it is bleeding, he puts something on it to stop it, meaning he treats it until it stops. If it is flowing, it is better for him not to lead people in prayer if it is flowing and he finds no way to stop it, neither a bandage nor anything to hold the blood. He is like one who has incontinence; the safest course for him is not to lead people in prayer if his wound is flowing. However, if he is standing and has a bandage or a dressing on it, or if he has nothing on it but is standing, he performs tayammum for it if he has nothing on it. If he has a bandage, he wipes over it, and that suffices instead of tayammum. Yes.
The presenter: Assuming our brother prayed with people and his wound was bleeding and he had no bandage on it, under this assumption, what is the ruling on his prayer?
The Shaykh: The prayer is valid. The prayer is valid according to the stronger position, and they are not required to repeat it, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter: Regarding the imam and the congregation?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh: [al-Taghabun:16]. Yes.
