Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: She is a woman residing in Britain with her husband for study, and this residence is long. However, she was wiping over leather socks for three days and their nights, believing that she was traveling. She does not now know the number of prayers she prayed in this state. What is her ruling?
Answer:
If she asked one of the people of knowledge and he issued this fatwa for her, then he bears the responsibility for it on the Day of Resurrection. But if she was ignorant and did not ask anyone, then she is mistaken in this. However, she may be excused due to ignorance, as long as the prayers are numerous or she does not know their number, and they are numerous. When it becomes clear to her that this is an error, she leaves it off in the future. May Allah accept repentance from us and from them. Yes.
