Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. Another woman is also asking, and she says: Shaykh Salih, I prayed and fasted for three days while in a state of major ritual impurity, and that was due to ignorance, as I was from the Bedouin. She asks what is required of her now? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
As for the fasting, it is valid, and it is not a condition for it to perform the full ritual bath from major ritual impurity. It is permissible for a person to fast while he has not performed the full ritual bath from major ritual impurity. As for the prayer, it must be repeated. It is necessary to repeat the prayers she prayed without performing the full ritual bath, unless these prayers are numerous and it is difficult for her to make them up. If they are numerous to the point of being burdensome, we hope that repentance and maintaining the prayer in the future will suffice for her. However, if the prayers are few and she is able to make them up, she must make them up from her wealth. Yes.
