The Order of Ablution and the Full Ritual Bath in the Case of Major Ritual Impurity

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success! Major ritual impurity requires the full ritual bath. Is the ablution before the full ritual bath or after it?

The Shaykh:
Is this what?

The questioner:
Major ritual impurity requires the full ritual bath. So what about the ablution?

The Shaykh:
What does he get angry about?

The questioner:
It includes the full ritual bath.

The Shaykh:
Yes, it means it obligates the full ritual bath. It obligates the full ritual bath; major ritual impurity obligates the full ritual bath, and it requires the full ritual bath. Yes.

The questioner:
So is the ablution before the full ritual bath or after it?

The Shaykh:
Major ritual impurity obligates both: it obligates the full ritual bath and it obligates the ablution. Whatever obligates the full ritual bath obligates the ablution. One starts with the ablution; the Sunnah (recommended practice) is to start with the ablution and then perform the full ritual bath. This is the Sunnah, and it is the recommended practice.
