Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This is a question from the website as well. He says: If a man prays while in a state of major ritual impurity without performing the full ritual bath, if a man prays while in a state of major ritual impurity without performing the full ritual bath, what is the ruling on his prayer?

The Shaykh:
If he prays.

The questioner:
A man who is in a state of major ritual impurity without performing the full ritual bath?

The Shaykh:
Without performing the full ritual bath, his prayer is invalid.
Allaah, the Exalted, does not accept the prayer of any of you when you are defiled until you performed ablution.لا يقبل الله صلاة أحدكم إذا أحدث حتى يتوضأ
Sunan Abi Dawud 60Sahih (Al-Albani)
So his prayer is invalid. He must perform the full ritual bath and repeat the prayer. Forgetfulness does not remove the obligation, nor does ignorance remove the obligation, but it removes only the sin. As for the obligation, it is not removed. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
