Wudu' Alone for One Who Has Major Ritual Impurity While Traveling

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This question is from the listener Naif from Riyadh. Yes, he says: A man was traveling when he became in a state of janabah, so he performed wudu'. He performed wudu' and prayed without taking a ghusl. Is this permissible?

Answer:
If he has major ritual impurity, he must take a full ritual bath; wudu' does not remove major ritual impurity, it only removes minor ritual impurity. So he has to repeat the prayer; he must take a full ritual bath and repeat the prayer, because he prayed without being in a state of ritual purity.
And if you are in a state of janabah, then purify yourselvesوَإِن كُنتُمْ جُنُبًا فَاطَّهَّرُوا
[Al-Ma'idah 5:6]
Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
