The answer

Whoever innovates during prayer, their prayer becomes invalid, and they must exit it, because purity is a condition for the validity of prayer. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Allah does not accept the prayer of anyone who passes wind until he performs ablution." And whoever persists in their prayer while knowing they have invalidated their ablution has committed a grave sin, and some scholars have even gone as far as to consider it an act of disbelief. Therefore, it is not permissible to continue praying while in a state of impurity; rather, one must exit the prayer, perform ablution, and repeat the prayer from the beginning.
