Question #584:

A congregational prayer Imam performs tayammum in place of janābah ghusl due to an excuse. Is it sufficient for the purpose performing congregational prayer?

Answer #584:

If his inability is justifiable by Islamic law, then he can perform prayer as Imam of congregation with tayammum instead of ghusl. It would also be permissible to start one’s prayer behind such a person.
