Summary
If the impurity on the imam is established through the congregation's own sight, the imam's prayer is invalid. The imam must repeat his prayer. The congregation members are not required to repeat theirs.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sekiranya najis itu ditentukan melalui penglihatan makmum sendiri maka solat Imam berkenaan dikira batal dan wajib bagi imam untuk mengulangi solatnya semula.
