Is the ablution valid if performed before cleaning oneself after relieving oneself?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The correct view is that it is sufficient; the ablution is valid if performed before cleaning oneself after relieving oneself.

Answer : Yes. Yes, indeed. How is the situation? When he relieves himself, he wipes in a way that is not sufficient, such as using a stone, which is not sufficient. Then he stands up, performs the ablution, and prays. If we say that the ablution is not valid, then his prayer is invalid. If we say it is valid, then his prayer is valid. He cleans himself after this, yes, after the ablution, yes. This is the correct view, because there is no evidence requiring that condition, and it is a state of ritual impurity. Yes.
