Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a man prayed several prayers while in a state of major ritual impurity, and he knew that he was in that state and was being lazy. What is required of him, given that he wants to repent?
Answer:
He must repent to Allah, seek forgiveness, perform the full ritual bath, and repeat the prayers he performed, because they are not valid. So he should repent to Allah for this negligence, repeat the prayers that are due to him with ritual purity by performing the full ritual bath, and hasten to do so; because they remain a debt upon him.
