Bathing to remove major ritual impurity without performing ablution or rinsing the mouth

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a person is in a state of major ritual impurity, then he bathed but did not perform ablution, nor did he rinse his mouth or sniff water, is his bath valid?

Answer:
The bath is valid, but the state of minor ritual impurity remains upon him, as he did not intend it. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended.إنما الأعمال بالنيات، وإنما لكل امرئ ما نوى
Sahih al-Bukhari 1
. The bath is valid, but it is obligatory for him to perform ablution. Yes.
