Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man woke up from sleep in a state of major ritual impurity, and only the duration of one rak'ah remained before the time for prayer ended. He asks: Does he prioritize purification or prioritize the time? If he has water available.
Answer:
He prioritizes purification. He does not pray while in a state of major ritual impurity. He prioritizes purification if he has water available. As for if he has to search for water, or needs to go buy it, or perform dry ablution with clean earth and pray, praise be to Allah. But if he has water available, he does not pray until he performs the full ritual bath, even if the time passes. Yes.
