Does the full ritual bath (ghusl) suffice in place of the ablution for prayer (wudu')?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I testify that I love you for the sake of Allah, and my question is:

The Shaykh : Repeat, repeat the question.

The questioner : A questioner says: I testify, O Shaykh, that I love you for the sake of Allah.

The Shaykh : May Allah bless you.

The questioner : And my question is: Does the full ritual bath (ghusl) suffice in place of the ablution for prayer (wudu'), or does it not?

The Shaykh : Does it?

The questioner : Does the full ritual bath (ghusl) suffice in place of the ablution for prayer (wudu'), or does it not?

The Shaykh : If it is the full ritual bath (ghusl) for major ritual impurity (janabah), it suffices in place of the ablution for prayer (wudu') if he rinses his mouth and sniffs water into his nose. However, if it is the full ritual bath (ghusl) for Friday, it does not suffice in place of the ablution for prayer (wudu'), because the full ritual bath (ghusl) for Friday is not for a state of ritual impurity (hadath). Although it is obligatory (wajib); it is obligatory (wajib) for everyone who attends Friday prayer to take a full ritual bath (ghusl) on Friday, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Taking a bath (before coming to Friday prayers) is obligatory on every adult.غسل الجمعة وواجب على كل محتلم
Riyad as-Salihin 1152
, and he said (peace and blessings be upon him)
When any one of you comes for Friday (prayer) he should take a bath.إذا أتى أحدكم الجمعة فليغتسل
Sunan Abi Dawud 340Sahih (Al-Albani)
