Assalamu alaikum. I’m describing a woman’s situation. There was dirt within her navel is stuck so hard that she feared, if she tries to remove it she will be harmed. So she used to take obligatory bath without removing it for many months, then one day she was able to remove it. Now does she need to repeat all prayers though she did not remove it for fear of harm & repeating all prayers cause difficulty for her? Or will she be pardoned?

Wa `alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

If she had a genuine reason to believe that it would hurt her, then she had a good excuse and her prayers will be valid. If she had an irrational, unsubstantiated fear, then she should make up the prayers that this happened during.

Almighty Allah knows best.
