If a Muslim prays an obligatory prayer after the time for wiping over the socks has ended, does he repeat the prayer, or what is required of him?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If a Muslim prays an obligatory prayer after the time for wiping over the socks has ended, does he repeat the prayer, or what is required of him?

The Shaykh : Yes, he must repeat the prayer. Because if the duration for wiping is completed and then his ablution is broken, he must take them off and put them on again while in a state of purity, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The time for that is one day and one night for the resident, and three days and their nights for the traveler. وقت ذلك بيوم وليلة للمقيم ، وثلاثة أيام بلياليها للمسافر
.
For example, if we assume that the time for wiping ended one hour before the midday prayer, and then his ablution was broken, and he wiped while forgetting, he must perform ablution and repeat the midday prayer.
As for if the duration ends while he is in a state of purity, let him continue in his purity until it is broken. That is, he continues to pray, and there is no blame on him, even if the duration is completed. Because the completion of the duration means that wiping anew is prohibited, not that the ablution is broken.
