Purification from the two types of ritual impurity is a condition for the validity of prayer. If one prays the funeral prayer unknowingly or forgetfully, while being in a state of major ritual impurity, then we hope there is no sin upon him. However, if he prays knowingly and remembering that he is in a state of ritual impurity (), then he has committed a forbidden act and must repent, and his prayer is invalid.
