Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
After this, a message was received for the program from one of the female listeners. She says: Your sister in Allah (H. A. A. al-Juhani), our sister says in one of her questions: If a person prays while believing that he is in a state of ritual purity, and then it turns out that he prayed without being in a state of ritual purity, is his prayer valid? Or is it obligatory for him to repeat it? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is obligatory to make up the prayer. If a person prays while thinking that he is in a state of ritual purity, and then it turns out that he was not in a state of ritual purity, he must repeat it. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1Sahih (Darussalam) and his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Sahih Muslim 225 This is by the consensus of the Muslims. This is a point of consensus among the Muslims that if a person prays and then it becomes clear to him that he was not in a state of ritual purity, he must repeat the prayer. He performs the ablution and repeats the prayer.
This is different from one who prays and there is ritual impurity on his garment, and he did not know until after the prayer. In this case, he does not repeat the prayer according to the correct opinion. If he prayed while there was ritual impurity on his garment, his trousers, his overcoat, or something else, but he did not know until he had finished, then the correct view is that his prayer is valid, and he is not required to repeat it, even if he knew about it and then forgot it.
As for the one who prays while in a state of ritual impurity, thinking that he is pure, and then it turns out that he was in a state of ritual impurity, he is required to repeat the prayer. This is because the condition for the prayer is purity, and he did not fulfill it. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.

Salat will not be accepted without purification
لا تقبل صلاة بغير طهورThe prayer of none amongst you would be accepted in a state of impurity until he performs ablution.
لا تقبل صلاة أحدكم إذا أحدث حتى يتوضأThis is different from one who prays and there is ritual impurity on his garment, and he did not know until after the prayer.
