Ruling on a person in a state of major ritual impurity sitting in the mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding sitting in the mosque if a person is in a state of major ritual impurity and has not performed ablution?

Answer:
The correct view is that he does not sit until he performs the full ritual bath; based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
I do not make the mosque lawful for a menstruating woman and for a person who is sexually defiled.إني لا أُحِلُّ المسجد لحائض ولا جُنُب
Sunan Abi Dawud 232Da'if (Al-Albani)
It is also narrated from some of the Companions that he used to sit while in a state of major ritual impurity, and perhaps the hadith did not reach them. And Allah the Exalted says:
or in a state of janabah, except those passing through [a place of prayer]وَلَا جُنُبًا إِلَّا عَابِرِي سَبِيلٍ
[Surat al-Nisa: 43] meaning passing through the mosque.
