The ghusl for janabah on Friday: Does it suffice for the ghusl of Friday?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Where did he perform the ghusl?

The Shaykh : If he performed the ghusl for both Friday and janabah, it suffices for him. If he performed the ghusl for janabah alone, it is possible that it suffices for him, based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)
Whoever performs Ghusl as from Janabah on Fridayمن اغتسل يوم الجمعة غسل الجنابة
Sunan an-Nasa'i 1388Sahih (Darussalam)
and because the intended purpose is cleanliness, which is achieved. It is also possible that it does not suffice for him, based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)
A person has nothing of his deeds exceptوليس للمرء من عمله إلا
But if he intended it for Friday and not for janabah, does it suffice for him or not?
It does not suffice for him, because the ghusl for janabah is for removing a state of ritual impurity, and it must be removed by intention. The ghusl for Friday is for cleanliness, not for removing a state of ritual impurity. And the lesser does not suffice for the greater.

The questioner : Well, what if he intended both?

The Shaykh : That is valid, just as if he intended the greeting of the mosque along with the rawatib prayer. If he performed the ghusl for the obligatory one first and then for the recommended one, does it suffice for him or not? If he performed the ghusl for janabah first and then returned and performed the ghusl for Friday, does it suffice for him or not? It suffices. In fact, the jurists said that it is more complete to perform the ghusl for the obligatory one first and then for the recommended one second. Ibn Hazm (may Allah have mercy on him) said that one does not suffice for the other, but rather one must perform the ghusl for janabah first and then for Friday second. Based on this, repeating the ghusl twice is more cautious from another perspective, to avoid this opinion held by Ibn Hazm, even though we consider it a weak opinion, but it has been said.
As for the author's statement, "Based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), what is it?
Whoever performs Ghusl as from Janabah on Fridayمن اغتسل يوم الجمعة غسل الجنابة
Sunan an-Nasa'i 1388Sahih (Darussalam)
" It has already been mentioned that its meaning is like the ghusl for janabah.
