I didn't know you had to do ghusl after your menses, so for about 5 years, I had just been praying without performing any ghusl after my period. Does this make all my prayers for the last 5 years invalid? If so, do I have to make them up? Thank you.



بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

الجواب حامداومصليا

The Salah that you performed without Ghusl will only need to be made up.

And Allah knows best
