Imaam performing Salaah in the state of janaabat

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: If an imam performed Salaah in a time and he is in janaabat and he knows that he is in janaabat but still he became Imam and performed the Salaah, and he did this many times like more than 100 times and for different prayers, so now if he wants to make tauba but he still can’t tell those people that repeat their Salaah because actually he also don’t have any count of prayers so if he did tauba is there any possibility that Allah Ta’ala will forgive him?

Bismillaah

A: Allah will forgive him for the wrong that he has done, but he has to somehow announce to the people that they should repeat their namaaz that they had performed behind him when he was in the state of janaabat.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
