The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on taking a bath for the sake of cleanliness, when one intends by it to remove minor ritual impurity, and performs gargling and sniffing water during or at the end of the bath?
The Shaykh:
What is it?
The questioner:
Taking a bath for the sake of cleanliness, when one intends by it to remove minor ritual impurity, and performs gargling and sniffing water during or at the end of the bath,
The Shaykh:
Wudu (ablution) is not part of a bath taken for cleanliness; it is only part of a bath taken for major ritual impurity. In the case of major ritual impurity, wudu, which is minor ritual impurity, is included in the major impurity. As for smiling, this is a glance; it is not a state of impurity, so it is not included. Yes.
