I woke up around sunrise in a state of major ritual impurity. If I begin the full ritual bath, I will miss the time for prayer. Should I perform dry ablution and pray?

Question:
A questioner says: I woke up around sunrise in a state of major ritual impurity. If I begin the full ritual bath, the sun might rise. Should I perform dry ablution and pray, or should I take the full ritual bath and then pray, even if the time passes? Please advise us, and may Allah reward you.

Answer:
No, it is not permissible for you to pray except after taking the full ritual bath, even if the sun has risen. It is obligatory for you to take the full ritual bath, as long as it is possible and water is available. It is obligatory for you to take the full ritual bath even if the sun has risen, because you are excused in this matter. Yes.
