Primary text

If the impurity is on the body of the Imam, and he performed Tayammum concerning that impurity, it is permissible for a pure follower to follow him according to Al-Qadi, because this situation is analogous to the one performing Tayammum for ritual impurity.

According to the derivation from the saying of Abu Al-Khuttab, it is not permissible to follow such an Imam because he is required to repeat the prayer.
