One who forgot he was in a state of major ritual impurity and performed tawaf and completed the lesser pilgrimage

Question:
The questioner: May Allah guide you, I went for the lesser pilgrimage, and just before performing it, I slept a little. I woke up in a state of major ritual impurity and forgot to perform the full ritual bath, so I entered the state of ihram for the lesser pilgrimage. When I returned from Makkah, I remembered that I had not performed the full ritual bath for major ritual impurity. I asked one of the students of knowledge, and he said there is no harm on you. What should I do, knowing that I have performed the lesser pilgrimage many times since then?

Answer:
This is not a student of knowledge. The one who said there is no harm on you is not a student of knowledge; he is not even among the common people who have some sense. May Allah protect us from that, he issued a ruling without knowledge. You are in the state of ihram, and you are still in the state of ihram. It is obligatory for you to return and perform the lesser pilgrimage for which you entered the state of ihram. However, since you performed the lesser pilgrimage after that, the subsequent lesser pilgrimage takes the place of the first one. You exited the state of ihram through the lesser pilgrimage that came after it. Otherwise, if you had not performed the lesser pilgrimage after that, it would be obligatory for you to go and perform the lesser pilgrimage. Yes.
