A Prayer Leader Whose Wudu’ Is Invalid or Is without al-Qiblah (al-Ka‘bah)

2ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) فِي الأعْمَى يَؤُمُّ الْقَوْمَ وَهُوَ عَلَى غَيْرِ الْقِبْلَةِ قَالَ يُعِيدُ وَلاَ يُعِيدُونَ فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ تَحَرَّوْا.
2. Ali has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about a blind man who leads a people in Salah (prayer) and is not facing al-Qiblah (al-Ka‘bah). He (the Imam) said, ‘Only he, but not they, performs again; they had made the effort (about al-Qiblah (al-Ka‘bah)).’”
