The Ablution Before the Full Bath for Major Ritual Impurity

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: After the full bath for major ritual impurity, is it necessary for a woman or a man to perform the ablution, as they do for prayer?

Answer:
The best and the recommended practice (sunnah) is to perform the ablution before the full bath. One performs a complete ablution, first cleaning oneself, then performing a complete ablution, and then taking the full bath. This is how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do it. If one reverses the order by taking the full bath first and then performing the ablution afterward, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
