Are the prayers that were performed after ghusl from madhiy, out of the assumption that it was maniy, due to ignorance of the Sharia ruling, obligatory to be repeated?

A Muslim must learn what is necessary for the correctness of their worship. And whoever prays many prayers without proper purification due to ignorance is not obliged to repeat them, according to the preponderant opinion, based on the Almighty's saying: (And We were not to punish until We had sent a messenger), and due to Allah's forgiveness for error and forgetfulness. Supererogatory prayers complete deficiencies in obligatory prayers, and seeking religious knowledge is a great good, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: (Whoever Allah wishes good for, He grants him understanding in religion).
