Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : From Libya, the honorable Shaykh, the questioner M M A says: A person in a state of major ritual impurity performed the full ritual bath to perform an obligatory prayer, and after he prayed a voluntary prayer before the obligatory one, his bath was invalidated. Does he have to repeat the bath or just perform the ablution? May Allah guide you?
The Shaykh : The meaning of his bath being invalidated is as if he incurred another state of major ritual impurity.
The questioner : Yes, he means...
The Shaykh : Because the full ritual bath is not invalidated except by major ritual impurity. Accordingly, he is required to perform the full ritual bath a second time to remove the major ritual impurity from him. That is, if a person performs the full ritual bath for major ritual impurity, then prays a voluntary prayer, and then incurs major ritual impurity a second time, he must perform the full ritual bath for the upcoming prayer, whether it is an obligatory prayer or a voluntary one. Yes.
