Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person does not find water, he performs dry ablution and prays, then he returns to his town, is it obligatory for him to perform the full ritual bath, or is it not obligatory? Even though he was in a state of major ritual impurity. If he did not find water, he performed dry ablution and prayed.
The Shaykh:
Dry ablution for what?
The questioner:
He says at the end of the question: for major ritual impurity.
The Shaykh:
Major ritual impurity, yes. If he finds water, let him fear Allah and let it touch his skin, but that is for the future. As for the past, if he prayed with dry ablution because of the lack of water, his prayer is valid and he does not repeat it. As for the future, he must perform the full ritual bath for the future. Yes.
