A woman prayed while in a state of major ritual impurity, unaware of the obligation to perform the full ritual bath; what is required of her?

Question:
In the last of the questions from the questioners in the Fayyum Governorate, she says: Honorable Shaykh, there is a girl who was in a state of major ritual impurity that required the full ritual bath, but she did not perform it due to her ignorance. She prayed in that state until she started menstruating. She then performed the full ritual bath after her period ended. Then that state of impurity occurred again, and she did not perform the full ritual bath, and so on. Then she learned that that state of impurity required the full ritual bath, so she performed it. Does she have to repeat those prayers, or does her full ritual bath for menstruation suffice? It is known that her intention was only to perform the full ritual bath for menstruation. Also, are all the prayers invalid and must be repeated, or is the prayer she performed after the full ritual bath for menstruation and before the occurrence of that state of impurity valid?

Answer:
We do not know what this state of impurity is; whether it requires the full ritual bath or not. It was not mentioned. However, if this state of impurity requires the full ritual bath, such as wet dreams or sexual intercourse, then she is required to perform the full ritual bath. If she prayed without performing the full ritual bath, her prayer is not valid, because she did not purify herself. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: . So if she is in a state of major ritual impurity from janabah, menstruation, or post-natal bleeding, she is required to perform the full ritual bath. If she prayed without performing the full ritual bath, her prayer is not valid. She must repeat the prayers she performed without the full ritual bath, unless they are very numerous and it is difficult for her to make them up. In that case, it may be excused due to ignorance. If she has been in this state for a long time, or for most of her past life, and it is difficult for her to make up the prayers she performed in this state while she was ignorant of the ruling, then some scholars hold that it is excused due to ignorance because of the difficulty or inability to make up the numerous, long prayers. However, if the prayers are few and she is able to make them up, she is required to make them up, because she prayed without ritual purity.
As for whether the full ritual bath for menstruation suffices for janabah, yes, it suffices. Even the recommended full ritual bath suffices for the obligatory one? The scholars said that if one intends a recommended full ritual bath, it suffices for the obligatory one. They also said that if multiple states of impurity requiring ablution or the full ritual bath occur together, and one intends with his purification one of them, the rest are lifted. Yes.
