What are the consequences of reading the Quran while one's ablution is nullified, without realizing it until after finishing, and is it necessary to repeat the ablution and the reading? And is the intention to perform the Fajr prayer when it is delayed, with the intention of "performance" (أداء) instead of "making up" (قضاء), considered valid, and what are the consequences of repeating that?
Previous fatwas have clarified that discharges invalidate ablution, thereby nullifying ritual purity, and making it impermissible to touch the Quran when they occur. Therefore, the questioner should have stopped touching the Quran immediately upon the discharge.
However, she is absolved of sin due to forgetfulness, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "My Ummah is forgiven for mistakes, forgetfulness, and what they are coerced into."
Regarding the second question, intention resides in the heart and is not expressed verbally. The correct approach would have been for the questioner to intend making up the missed prayer (qada’). However, her intention for performing it on time (ada’) substituted for the intention of making it up due to her lack of knowledge, and her prayer is valid, with no need for her to make it up again.
