Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Impurity fell on a woman’s clothing, and she knew about it, then she forgot and prayed several prayers while wearing this clothing. What is the ruling on the prayers she performed in this state?

Answer:
The correct view is that if a person knows about impurity on his garment or on his body, then forgets it, performs wudu, and prays, his prayer is valid because he is excused by forgetfulness. However, he should hasten to wash it for the future. This is the correct view.
