Is the prayer of one who has not performed ghusl from janabah until after months valid, and must he make up the missed prayers that he prayed without ghusl?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The prayer of a person in a state of ritual impurity () is not valid until they perform (ritual bath), due to the Almighty's saying: "And if you are in a state of janabah, then purify yourselves." Therefore, whoever prayed while in a state of janabah for months must repeat all those missed prayers. The important thing is that they make them up while in a state of purity. And it is obligatory to make up missed prayers immediately without unjustified delay.
