His Eminence the Shaykh: He said (peace and blessings be upon him) in a hadith from 'Ammar ibn Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him): “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me on an errand, and I became in a state of major ritual impurity, but I did not find water, so I rolled in the dust as a beast rolls.”
) to the end of the hadith, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) taught him how to perform dry ablution with clean earth and said to him: “It would have been sufficient for you to say with your hands like this, and he did not repeat the dry ablution with clean earth) Does this hadith imply that the ignorant person is excused; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the hadith of the one who prays poorly: “Pray, for you have not prayed” ?
This hadith of 'Ammar ibn Yasir indicates that one who performs dry ablution with clean earth in a manner not prescribed, believing that this is the prescribed method, is not required to repeat it; because he is an ignorant person who is exerting his effort. As for the hadith of the one who prays poorly, it is the same; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) did not order him to repeat the past prayers, where he was performing them without tranquility while ignorant. As for the current prayer, he was only ordered to repeat it because he is required to perform a valid prayer at that time and he did not do so. This is the difference between them. As for the fact that both are excused by ignorance, they are equal;Because the one who prays poorly was not told: Repeat what you prayed,And likewise, 'Ammar was not told: Repeat what you prayed.
