Is it permissible to complete the movements of the prayer without recitation upon the invalidation of ablution and the inability to leave due to crowding, then repeat the prayer after performing ablution?
Whoever innovates during prayer, their prayer becomes invalid, and they must exit it, because purity is a condition for the validity of prayer. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Allah does not accept the prayer of anyone who passes wind until he performs ablution." And whoever persists in their prayer while knowing they have invalidated their ablution has committed a grave sin, and some scholars have even gone as far as to consider it an act of disbelief. Therefore, it is not permissible to continue praying while in a state of impurity; rather, one must exit the prayer, perform ablution, and repeat the prayer from the beginning.
