Friday prayer with wudu' instead of ghusl for one in a state of janabah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I was in a state of janabah, so I performed wudu' without taking a ghusl, and I prayed the Friday prayer. Is my prayer valid?

Answer:
No, your prayer is not valid, and you are in a state of janabah. Forgetfulness does not remove the obligation of ghusl; it does not remove an obligatory act. Forgetfulness removes the sin, but it does not remove the obligation. Yes, if you forget the midday prayer, is it removed from you by forgetfulness? No, it is not removed, but the sin is removed by forgetfulness. Yes.
