The Ruling on the Call to Prayer and Iqama by an Intoxicated Person

Question
What is the ruling on the call to prayer and iqama by an intoxicated person?
Answer

It is disliked for an intoxicated person to call to prayer; because the call to prayer is a significant remembrance, and his call undermines its significance, and due to the lack of trust in his words; and the absence of his discernment, so his call to prayer and iqama must be repeated. See: Fath Bab al-Inaya 1: 209.
