A woman who has been married for more than twenty-five years, and at the beginning of her marriage, when she performed the full ritual bath for major ritual impurity, she would wash her body except for her head, being ignorant of the ruling.

The questioner : He says: A woman who has been married for more than twenty-five years.

The Shaykh : For more than.

The questioner : For more than twenty-five years, and at the beginning of her marriage, when she performed the full ritual bath for major ritual impurity, she would wash her body except for her head, being ignorant of the ruling. Her husband then informed her of the ruling. What is the ruling on the prayers she performed? Knowing that a long time has passed since this matter, and she does not know how long she remained in this state.

The Shaykh : Yes, if it did not occur to her that washing the head is obligatory in major ritual impurity, and no one mentioned it to her, then I hope she is not required to repeat the prayers. However, if it did occur to her but she was negligent and careless, then she must repeat them. How does she repeat them? She estimates and takes the precaution. She makes up what she is convinced she missed, and she does not make up what she is not convinced she missed. Yes.
