Is my prayer valid?

[Nitro Zeus]

Today I have prepared for Midday prayer and guess what? I forgot to make the dog to get out from my room. And it is not my dog, it is my sister's dog and he stayed in his place and did not moved from his place luckily.

And I have forgotten to say shahada after ablution.

So, my prayer is still valid or invalid?

If the place in your room where you prayed was not dirtied by your dog, then your prayer is valid.

Saying shahadah after ablution is a recommended act which has nothing to do with the validity of your prayer. If you forget to say it, your prayer is still valid.

So, if the place where you prayed was clean and not dirtied by the dog, your prayer is valid.

So, even saying Bismillah before making ablution is not mandatory? But only Sunnah?

I forgot to mention this, so I needed to ask now because I forgot.

There is a difference of opinion on this one.

The Shaafi'i and Hanafi schools say that saying Bismillaah at the beginning of the Wuduu is a Sunnah. It is not waajib. Hence, if you forget it, your Wuduu is valid.

The Hanaabilah hold it to be waajib. They say you must say Bismillaah before the Wuduu.

Last question: Today, I have prayed Dawn prayer without ablution thinking that I am cleaned. Because, my dad says that I can offer ablution unless I think that I am dirty, otherwise there is no need to repeat the ablution if I am already cleaned. Is he correct in Islamic point of view? If yes, can you give me some narrations about this so that I can support his claim?

Clean is opposite of unhygienic or dirty. Thus ablution differs
Point of ur dad is not good. Thus prayer is invalid
