Does the ghusl for janabah suffice in place of wudu'?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Answer : We say yes, the ghusl for janabah suffices in place of wudu' and for the state of janabah. This is because when Allah mentioned wudu', He said
And if you are in a state of janabah, then purify yourselvesوَإِن كُنتُمْ جُنُبًا فَاطَّهَّرُوا
[Al-Ma'idah 5:6]
and did not mention wudu', which indicates that it suffices for both wudu' and the state of janabah, provided a person washes his entire body. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform wudu' first and then perform ghusl second. However, if we assume that after he performed ghusl while in the bathroom, he urinated or passed wind, then he must perform wudu' because of the new nullifier. As for if he touches his private part without intention and without deliberate action, his wudu' is not invalidated; rather, he remains in a state of wudu'.
