The Convergence of Two Events in One Washing

Question

A sister became impure and then menstruated. When she performed the ritual washing after the menstrual period, she washed for the menstruation and did not intend to purify herself from the impurity. This happened to her 20 years ago, and she is asking about the ruling on the washing and the ruling on the prayers in the previous years. She is afraid that her prayers and pilgrimage in the previous years were not valid, and what consequences she should face?

Answer

I say, and with God's help: Her washing is valid and her prayer is valid; because the intention in washing is a Sunnah, and it is for purification only without the need to remove major impurity or menstruation, and God knows best.
