IRSYAD HUKUM SIRI KE-707: BOLEHKAH HANYA BERWUDUK SEBAGAI GANTI MANDI WAJIB KERANA KESUNTUKAN WAKTU UNTUK SOLAT?
Can a person in a state of major ritual impurity perform only wudu before praying when the prayer time is almost over and there is not enough time for the obligatory bath?
Short answer
The prayer of a person in a state of major impurity is not valid if he performs only wudu without the obligatory bath.

Summary
The prayer of a person in a state of major impurity is not valid if he performs only wudu without the obligatory bath. Purity from both minor and major impurity is a condition for a valid prayer for those who are able, even if the person forgets. He must therefore take the obligatory bath first, and if the prayer time lapses because of the bath and wudu, the prayer must be made up as qada.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tidak sah solat bagi orang yang berjunub dengan hanya berwuduk dan tidak mandi wajib.
