The Ruling on Tayammum for Janabah Without the Intention of Removing the State of Impurity

Question:
A questioner says: My uncle was sitting in the hospital, and he was ill. He had become in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah), but he was unable to perform the full ritual bath (ghusl). He would perform dry ablution (tayammum) when the time for prayer arrived without intending to remove the major state of impurity. He remained in this state for a period. Are the prayers he performed valid?

Answer:
If he intended with his tayammum to remove both the minor and major states of impurity, then that suffices; it suffices for both. However, if he did not intend to remove the major impurity, it is not removed except by intention, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) Therefore, if the prayers he prayed were without the intention of tayammum for janabah, and he is able to make them up, he should make them up in order. Yes.
