Salat ul-Junub - You must know that it is forbidden for a Muslim to pray in a state of big ritual impurity. Allah says,

“O you who believe! Approach not prayers with a mind intoxicated, until you can understand all that you say, - nor in a state of ritual impurity (Except when travelling on the road), until after washing your whole body. If you are ill, or on a journey, or one of you cometh from offices of nature, or you have been in contact with women (sexually), and you find no water, then take for yourselves clean sand or earth, and rub therewith your faces and hands. For Allah doth blot out sins and forgive again and again.” al-Qur’an, Surah al-Nisaa, 4: 43
