The ruling on the prayer of a person in a state of major ritual impurity who does so intentionally

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. He asks: What is the ruling on one who prayed with the congregation while in a state of major ritual impurity, doing so intentionally, not out of forgetfulness? Intentionally, deliberately, on purpose.

The Shaykh:
If he prayed while in a state of major ritual impurity, he has done something forbidden. Some scholars hold that this is apostasy, because it is mocking the religion. It is not permissible for a person to pray without ritual purity intentionally, when he is able to perform the ritual purity.

The presenter:
Yes.

The Shaykh:
It is not obligatory for him to do so. Yes.
