Maybe remind that person that all prayed the Angelus in thei know!!! its just that person doesnt feel comfortable praying like that
nations of western Europe for hundreds of years -
including as they worked in the fields, all sweaty and dirty.
Nobody stopped to wash up first.
(Washing before prayer is a Moslem practice.)
There’s plenty of beautiful art repesenting this.
Two examples follow:

The Angelus bells rang in the church in town.
Everyone stopped their work to pray the Angeles.
Usually the Angelus bells rang at 6am, 12noon and 6pm.

Actually the Jews have TONS of rituals regarding cleanliness, some of which involve prayer. Where might the Muslims have gotten their practices from?
To OP I think your friend may have some issues with scrupulosity? Maybe something to keep an eye on.
