The ruling on repeating the Fajr prayer after taking a full ritual bath in Mina

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I performed Hajj, and I was in Muzdalifah on the day of the standing at 'Arafah in a state of major ritual impurity. I was unable to take a full ritual bath because of the large number of pilgrims, so I performed the ablution for prayer and prayed the Fajr prayer. When I reached Mina, I took a full ritual bath and performed the ablution for prayer, and then I repeated the Fajr prayer.

Answer:
Praise be to Allah. As long as you took a full ritual bath and repeated the prayer, the intended purpose has been achieved. You said that you were unable to take a full ritual bath in Muzdalifah because of the crowds. You could have hidden behind a tree, or behind a car, or in the darkness of the night where no one could see you. This is not an excuse. Or you could have had something on you that covers the 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered). You could take a full ritual bath while keeping the ihram (the consecrated state of pilgrimage) garments on you, with the ihram garments covering your 'awrah.
Then, after that, you put on what covers you and wash the lower part of your body. The point is that this is not an excuse. This is not an excuse. You wrap something non-sewn around your 'awrah and take a full ritual bath. Then you put on your ihram garments. This is possible given the darkness of the night, and the possibility of finding a car, a wall, or something else. Yes. The questioner says: I have preceded the sins of the disobedient.
For example, if you wrap your shemagh or your ghutra around your 'awrah and take a full ritual bath, you take off your ihram garments and wrap your shemagh or ghutra around your 'awrah and take a full ritual bath. As long as you are safe from exposing the 'awrah, there is no harm, even if people are seeing you. Then, once you have taken the full ritual bath, you put on your ihram garments and pray. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
