The Shaykh al-Islam stated that if a menstruating woman becomes pure at the end of the prayer time and is unable to perform the ritual bath, she should perform dry ablution with clean earth; however, in another place, he stated the opposite. What is the ruling?

The Shaykh : The Shaykh al-Islam stated that if a menstruating woman becomes pure at the end of the prayer time such that it does not allow time for both the ablution and the prayer, she should perform dry ablution with clean earth and not the ablution. It is known that he issued a ruling to the contrary in another place. What is the stronger position in this issue, and what is the reason for preferring it? It appears that the stronger position is that she should perform the ritual bath, because her delay was due to an excuse, which was the lack of purity. If she performs dry ablution with clean earth, then prays, and then performs the ritual bath for the next prayer, there is no harm in that.
