If one intentionally spills water to avoid performing wudu with water for a period of ten years, does he have to repeat the prayers?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, regarding a matter from a moment ago, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan an-Nasa'i 322Hasan (Darussalam) Does he have to repeat the prayers for the ten years? Who? Intentionally spilling water despite having wudu with water, does he have to repeat for ten years?
The Shaykh : Or twenty. Because he did it intentionally now. It may be said that he does not have to repeat anything except the prayer in which he spilled it, because his wudu was invalidated after that, so he did not purify the water. I mean, if this were said, it would be a valid position.
The presenter : I mean, the position that we repeat is the absolute answer.
The Shaykh : Yes, the position that he repeats absolutely. The second position, the second possibility, is that we say he repeats what he did not perform. If he performed it, then he was addressed with a new purity. And here he has only the earth,
The presenter : and the new one.
The Shaykh : And this is easier for the people. This is easier.
even if he does not find water for ten years
وإن لم يجد الماء عشر سنينThe Shaykh : Or twenty. Because he did it intentionally now. It may be said that he does not have to repeat anything except the prayer in which he spilled it, because his wudu was invalidated after that, so he did not purify the water. I mean, if this were said, it would be a valid position.

The Shaykh : Yes, the position that he repeats absolutely. The second position, the second possibility, is that we say he repeats what he did not perform. If he performed it, then he was addressed with a new purity. And here he has only the earth,
The presenter : and the new one.
