What is the ruling on one who prayed, then remembered after the prayer time had elapsed that he was not in a state of ablution?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Whoever prayed without ablution due to forgetfulness, then remembered that after the prayer time, must perform ablution and repeat their prayer. There is no sin upon them for their forgetfulness, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, Allah has overlooked for my Ummah their mistakes, their forgetfulness, and what they are forced to do."
