Do we require the one who prayed after eating donkey meat to repeat the prayer?

The questioner : Yes, Shaykh, how do we require the one who prayed, for example, after eating the meat of the hindquarters, while he was ignorant, to repeat the prayer?

The Shaykh : Yes, it is known, because he prayed without ablution.

The questioner : But in their view, men are excused.

The Shaykh : Yes, if he prayed while knowing, we might say he is a disbeliever, as Abu Hanifah said: whoever prays while in a state of ritual impurity, knowing of it, is a disbeliever. If he prays while knowing, he is sinful by consensus. But now we say you are not sinful, and this is what we lifted from you because of ignorance. However, the obligation to repeat the prayer remains; it is obligatory for him.

The questioner : A major sin for them.

The Shaykh : Did not the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) order the one who said, "By Allah, I do not know how to do it except this way, so teach me," to repeat it, even though he was ignorant? So there is a difference, and I have stated this many times: the difference between what is commanded, which must be made up despite ignorance or forgetfulness, and what is prohibited, which cannot be made up because it has ended and passed. If you do what is prohibited while forgetting or ignorant, there is no sin on you, as if you had not done it, because it has no substitute. But what is commanded, you must do it. When the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed two rak'ahs and said the closing salam after two rak'ahs, forgetting, it was not said, "You are excused, and two rak'ahs are recorded for you." Complete it.
