Salaah becoming qadha due to not making fardh ghusl after becoming baaligh
Question
If a male becomes baaligh by having wet dream and ghusl becomes fardh on him, but he doesn't know that in Shariat you have to perform ghusl after having a wet dream. So he keeps praying with just making wudhu and after 3-4 months of his puberty, he comes to know that ghusl becomes fardh by wet dream. So are all his prayers in these 3-4 months counted or does he have to make qadha?
While offering these prayers again will he make intention of praying qadha prayer or will he make intention of repeating the prayer (I'adah)?
Answer
If he did not make fardh ghusal immediately, but did make ghusal thereafter on other days, then the fardh ghusal he made on other days (i.e. when he washed his entire body and gargled his mouth and inserted water in his nose) will be sufficient to take him out of jaanaabat, and all the salaah performed thereafter will be valid. However, any salaah that was performed in the state of janaabat before making fardh ghusal will have to be repeated.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
