Is the order of wudu' waived for one who immerses himself in the sea intending to cool off while performing wudu'?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: If a person takes a bath or immerses himself in the sea intending to clean himself or cool off while performing wudu', such that the order is waived, is this sufficient to remove the state of minor ritual impurity, or is it necessary to perform wudu' separately and in the proper order?

Answer:
This is not sufficient, because cooling off, taking a bath, and cleaning oneself are not a prescribed bath; rather, it is a permissible bath, a permissible bath. Wudu' is only incorporated into a prescribed bath, whether recommended or obligatory. Wudu' is only incorporated into a prescribed bath. As for a permissible bath for the sake of cleaning or cooling off, wudu' is not incorporated into it. It is necessary to perform wudu' separately. Yes.
