Praying while in a state of major ritual impurity out of shyness, then repeating it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I was on a trip with some of my classmates, and I had a wet dream. At the time, I was in high school and had not read the ruling, so I prayed while in a state of major ritual impurity.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
I was on a trip with some of my classmates, and I had a wet dream. At the time, I was in high school and did not understand the ruling, so I prayed while in a state of major ritual impurity out of shyness of my classmates. Then I took a full ritual bath and repeated the prayer before the time expired. Do I owe anything?

The Shaykh:
Since you took a full ritual bath and repeated the prayer, praise be to Allah. But you made a mistake by praying while you were in a state of major ritual impurity. There is no shyness in this; there is no shyness in the religion.
