The ruling on performing ghusl before urination

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, if a man has intercourse with his wife or has a wet dream, is it required that he urinate first? He says: If a man has intercourse with his wife, or has a wet dream, does he have to perform ghusl before he urinates, or is the ghusl not valid unless it is after urination? We have heard that the state of major ritual impurity (janabah) is not lifted if a person does not urinate before performing ghusl.

Answer:
This is a terrible ignorance, and speaking about Allah without knowledge. A person cleans himself, washes the private parts and whatever is soiled, and performs wudu. If there is urine, he must urinate. But if there is no urine, it is sufficient for him to clean himself and wash the area. This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do. As for the claim that it is obligatory to urinate, only an ignorant person would say that. And not just an ignorant person, but a doubly ignorant one. Yes.
