If someone prayed while in a state of major ritual impurity () unknowingly, and then realized it, they must perform (ritual bath) with the intention of removing the janabah and repeat the prayer. This is because ghusl performed merely for cleanliness or cooling down does not remove janabah, for "deeds are by intentions."
