Does delaying the ritual bath (ghusl) after major ritual impurity (janabah) and the accumulation of prayers lead to a reduction in the number of rak'ahs?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Whoever is in a state of major ritual impurity () must perform (full ritual bath) for prayer. He must perform it in advance so that he can perform the entire prayer within its prescribed time; otherwise, he is sinful unless he has an excuse. He must perform the prayer fully and not shorten it, even if a part of it falls outside the time. Whoever shortens it must make it up. Whoever has missed prayers to make up must make them up fully, unless they were missed during travel and he makes them up while traveling, in which case he may shorten them.
