A patient in the hospital who has major ritual impurity and cannot perform the full ritual bath, so he performs dry ablution and prays

The questioner:
May Allah reward you and bless you. From the fax questions that reached us, Honorable Shaykh, before the program began. This is a sick person who says: I am in the hospital, I have major ritual impurity, but I am unable to perform the full ritual bath. I have been performing dry ablution when the prayer time arrives, without intending to remove the major ritual impurity, and I have remained in that state for a period. Is the prayer he performed valid?

The Shaykh:
My brother, there is some interference in the transmission. Please repeat the question.

The questioner:
Okay, he says: Honorable Shaykh, this is a sick person in the hospital who has major ritual impurity but is unable to perform the full ritual bath. He has been performing dry ablution when the prayer time arrives, without intending to remove the major ritual impurity, and he has remained in that state for a period. Is the prayer he performed valid?

The Shaykh:
If he has major ritual impurity and is in the hospital and cannot perform the full ritual bath, it is permissible for him to perform dry ablution with pure, clean earth. It is permissible for him to perform dry ablution because he is unable to achieve ritual purity with water. But you say that he did not intend to remove the ritual impurity. He did not intend to remove the major ritual impurity. He did not intend to remove the major ritual impurity. Yes, why did he perform dry ablution except for the major ritual impurity? As long as he has major ritual impurity and he performed dry ablution, this dry ablution is for the major ritual impurity, and it also covers dry ablution for minor ritual impurity. He prays, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
