The Order of Ablution and Full Bath in the Ghusl for Major Ritual Impurity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The Shaykh’s son said: It was reported regarding the full bath of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he would perform wudu before the full bath, then he would make it easy for himself and start by washing his back, then he would pour water over his body, and he would not perform wudu after the full bath.
The Shaykh:
Yes, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would start with wudu; he would start with wudu. First, he would clean himself (peace and blessings be upon him), washing his private parts and performing istinja, then he would perform wudu, then he would pour water over his body (peace and blessings be upon him). This is better. Is it not obligatory? As for if one bathes first and then performs wudu after the full bath, this is also permissible. And if one limits oneself to the division of the two types of ritual impurity, this is also permissible. Yes. Yes.
