It is recommended for a person in a state of major ritual impurity to perform the ablution for prayer if he intends to eat or return to sexual intercourse, and to wash his private parts.

Question : It is recommended for him to perform the ablution for prayer if he intends to eat or return to sexual intercourse, and to wash his private parts. As for the menstruating woman, it is not recommended for her to do so, because the ablution for prayer does not affect her state of minor or major ritual impurity, nor is it valid for her.

Answer : It is valid. Also, if he intends to eat while in a state of major ritual impurity, let him perform the ablution for prayer, for this is better and more excellent. Likewise, if he intends to return to sexual intercourse again, the best is for him to wash his penis and perform the ablution for prayer, for that is more refreshing for him. But if he does not do so, there is no blame on him. So . As for the menstruating woman, it is not recommended for her to perform the ablution for prayer, because if she performs it, her state of minor or major ritual impurity remains, unlike the state of major ritual impurity. And Allah knows best.
