The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: Why does the one who prayed while forgetting without ablution repeat the prayer, but the one who did not?
The Shaykh:
Why? What is it?
The questioner:
Why does the one who prayed while forgetting without ablution repeat the prayer, but the one who prayed while forgetting with impurity on his garment does not, even though both are conditions of the prayer?
The Shaykh:
Yes, because purity is a condition for the validity of the prayer and is not dropped by forgetfulness; it is not dropped by forgetfulness.

And [lawful in marriage are] chaste women from among the believers and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture before you, when you have given them their due compensation, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse or taking [secret] lovers. And whoever denies the faith - his work has become worthless, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers. (6) O you who have believed, when you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your heads and wash your feet to the ankles. And if you are in a state of janabah, then purify yourselves. But if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women and do not find water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and hands with it. Allah does not intend to make difficulty for you, but He intends to purify you and complete His favor upon you that you may be grateful.
