Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: A question from: S. M. from Nouakchott says: I woke up around sunrise in a state of major ritual impurity. If I start the full ritual bath, the sun will rise. Should I perform dry ablution and pray? Or should I perform the full ritual bath and then pray?
A: You must perform the full ritual bath and complete your ritual purity, then pray. You are not permitted to perform dry ablution in the situation described; because the one who forgets and the one who sleeps are commanded to hasten to the prayer and what is required for it from the time of remembering or waking up; due to his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): And it is known that there is no prayer without purity; due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1Sahih (Darussalam).
And whoever finds water, his purification is with water. If he does not find it, he prays with dry ablution; due to the saying of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) :[Al-Ma'idah 5:6] the verse [al-Ma'idah: 6].
It is obligatory for you to take care of your prayer, and to attend to it with the utmost care by setting an alarm at your head, or assigning someone from your family to wake you up when the time enters; so that you may fulfill what Allah has made obligatory upon you of prayer with your Muslim brothers in the houses of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and so that you may be safe from imitating the hypocrites who delay the prayer and do not come to it except lazily.
May Allah protect us and you and the rest of the Muslims from their characteristics and morals.
And success is from Allah.

Whoever sleeps through a prayer or forgets it, let him pray it when he remembers it; there is no expiation for it except that.
من نام عن الصلاة أو نسيها فليصلها إذا ذكرها، لا كفارة لها إلا ذلكSalat will not be accepted without purification
لا تقبل صلاة بغير طهورAnd whoever finds water, his purification is with water. If he does not find it, he prays with dry ablution; due to the saying of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) :
and do not find water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and hands with it
فَلَمْ تَجِدُوا مَاءً فَتَيَمَّمُوا صَعِيدًا طَيِّبًا فَامْسَحُوا بِوُجُوهِكُمْ وَأَيْدِيكُمْ مِنْهُIt is obligatory for you to take care of your prayer, and to attend to it with the utmost care by setting an alarm at your head, or assigning someone from your family to wake you up when the time enters; so that you may fulfill what Allah has made obligatory upon you of prayer with your Muslim brothers in the houses of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and so that you may be safe from imitating the hypocrites who delay the prayer and do not come to it except lazily.
