Imaam breaking his wudhu

· 23 Jumada I 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If the Imam breaks his wudhu during salaah, does the entire congregation need to break their salaah and wait for the Imam to do wudhu and then restart the salaah or can the Imam select a person from behind to complete the salaah while the Imam goes to do wudhu?

Answer

On account of people not knowing the masaa’il of a laahiq most ulama suggest that the namaaz should be renewed.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
