The answer

The prayer of the Imam is not invalidated by the invalidation of the prayer of the congregant; the Imam's prayer remains valid.

As for whether the Imam attains the virtue of congregational prayer in the event that the congregant's prayer is invalidated, there are two views: 1. The Imam is not required to repeat the prayer in another congregation. 2. The Imam should repeat his prayer in a congregation, while some scholars refrained from giving a definitive opinion.
