Question
What is the ruling on someone in a state of impurity establishing the prayer?
Answer
It is disliked for them to establish it; because the establishment of prayer was only legislated to be connected with the prayer of the one establishing it, so purity is necessary. However, the establishment is not repeated; because it is not legislated to repeat the establishment, as it is for informing those present, so one is sufficient. See: Fath Bab al-Inayah, vol. 1, p. 208.
