Wudu broke during salaat in Jamaat ?
Question
If wudu is broken while praying Salaat with jamaat, should one immediately discontinue his Salaat and leave the Jamaat and pray again with a fresh wudu or should he complete his Salaat with Jamaat and then leave the Jamaat and pray again with a fresh wudu? Will the individual be eligible for 25-27 times reward, or will he lose it because his wudu broke during salaat ?
Answer
Respected Brother-in-Islam
Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu
A person who experiences any hadath (impurity) in Salaat immediately go to make Wudhu. However, if there are many Saffs and it is difficult to break the Saffs to perform Wudhu, he may wait until he gets the opportunity to go out.
After he has renewed his Wudhu, he could continue his Salaat from where his Wudhu had broken or repeat the entire Salaat. However, it is better to repeat the entire Salaat. (Bahishti Zewar). It is hoped that he will be eligible for the full reward of Jamaat in the above instances because there was no default from his line of action as far as his capabilities were concerned.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
