If something happens to the imaam (he
breaks his wudoo’), is it permissible for one of the members of the congregation to
take over and lead the others in prayer?
Praise be to Allaah.
If the imaam loses his wudoo’ and stops praying, he
can say to one of the members of the congregation, “O so and so, come forward and
finish leading them in prayer.” If he does not do this, then the worshippers can
appoint one of their number to finish leading the prayer, or they can complete the prayer
individually.
