One who performs a recommended ghusl without the intention of removing the state of ritual impurity does not have the state of ritual impurity removed from him
If a person intends a recommended ghusl and covers his entire body with water without performing wudu and without the intention of removing the state of ritual impurity, is the state of ritual impurity removed from him?
What I see is that the state of ritual impurity is not removed. If one intends a recommended ghusl, the state of ritual impurity is not removed; because he did not intend to remove the state of ritual impurity. It is like if one bathed after washing a dead body; it is recommended for him to take a ghusl, but it does not suffice for the state of ritual impurity. And if it does not suffice for major ritual impurity, then it does not suffice—likewise—for the ablution. He must perform wudu. Just as the ghusl for Friday—which is obligatory in my view—does not suffice for the ablution; because the ghusl for Friday is not for a state of ritual impurity but for purification.As the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (If you purify yourselves on this day of yours), it does not suffice for the ablution. So what suffices for the ablution is only the ghusl for major ritual impurity.
