The ruling on taking a full ritual bath for Friday prayer without the intention of ablution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some of the brothers also ask, Your Eminence the Shaykh (may Allah preserve you): If a man takes a full ritual bath for Friday prayer but does not intend the ablution, is the bath sufficient for him?
Answer:
He must perform the ablution. Either he performs the ablution and then takes the bath, or he takes the bath and then performs the ablution. This is unless he is in a state of major ritual impurity and intends both of them, in which case, if Allah wills, it is sufficient. However, the better course is to perform the ablution first and then take the bath. As for the one who is in a state of major ritual impurity and intends both, it is sufficient according to the stronger position, if Allah wills. Yes.
