Question:
The questioner asks: Does a bath substitute for the ablution for prayer, even if I do not intend the ablution?
Answer:
This is if the bath is prescribed, whether for major ritual impurity, or for a woman’s menstruation, or for a recommended bath such as the bath on Friday. If the bath is prescribed and one intends to perform ablution with it, then the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) Sahih al-Bukhari 1 applies, because minor ritual purity is included in major ritual purity. However, if the bath is for cooling off or for cleanliness and not for ritual purity, one does not intend ablution with it, and it is not permissible to intend ablution with it. Yes.

Actions are only by intentions
إنما الأعمال بالنياتand every person will get the reward according to what he has intended
وإنما لكل امرئ ما نوى
