Is delaying prayer or ablution in that manner considered disbelief, even though the questioner did not intend to abandon prayer?

Some scholars have permitted a bride to wipe over her head during ghusl (definition) (ritual bath) or tayammum (definition) (dry ablution) if she fears damaging her adornments or spoiling the perfume on her body. However, this excuse does not permit wiping over what should be washed, nor does it justify resorting to tayammum. The most cautious approach, and that which best absolves one's responsibility, is to complete the ghusl. Since you performed ablution and repeated the prayer, your responsibility has been absolved, and your action is not considered abandoning prayer or an act of disbelief.
