Salaah performed in a state of impurity
Question
A person reaches puberty and experiences wet dreams. However, he is unaware of the fact that he is required to take Ghusl after experiencing nocturnal emission, hence he performs Salaah for several (three) years in a state of impurity. Now, he finds out that he was required to take Ghusl after a wet-dream. Will he be required to repeat those Salaah performed in a state of Janaabat?
Answer
The Salaah performed in a state of Janaabat (impurity) will have to be repeated. The Salaah performed in a state of purity during the three years will be in order with the proviso that the remaining requisites of Salaah were also found.
