Also, he asks whether covering the 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered) is a condition for wudu' (the ablution for prayer), meaning is it permissible to perform wudu' in the bathroom after bathing without covering the 'awrah, i.e., before putting on clothes?

The questioner : Is covering the 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered) a condition for wudu' (the ablution for prayer), meaning is it permissible to perform wudu' in the bathroom after bathing without covering the 'awrah, i.e., before putting on clothes?
The Shaykh : It is better for a person, when he finishes ghusl (the full ritual bath), to put on his clothes so that he does not remain with his 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered) exposed without need.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : However, if he performs wudu' (the ablution for prayer) after ghusl (the full ritual bath) from janabah (major ritual impurity) before putting on his clothes, there is no blame on him for that, and his wudu' (the ablution for prayer) is valid. But this wudu' (the ablution for prayer) should be performed before he takes the ghusl (the full ritual bath), for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform wudu' (the ablution for prayer) when taking ghusl (the full ritual bath), before the ghusl (the full ritual bath). As for after the ghusl (the full ritual bath), there is no wudu' (the ablution for prayer). If a person intends to take ghusl (the full ritual bath) and takes it without a prior or subsequent wudu' (the ablution for prayer), that suffices for him, because Allah the Exalted did not make wudu' (the ablution for prayer) obligatory on the one in a state of janabah (major ritual impurity), but only purity of the entire body, as He the Mighty and Majestic said:[Al-Ma'idah 5:6] And Allah the Exalted did not make wudu' (the ablution for prayer) obligatory. Accordingly, if someone intends to remove the state of janabah (major ritual impurity) and immerses himself in water in a pond, a well, or the sea, and he has intended to remove the major state of ritual impurity, that suffices for him, and he does not need wudu' (the ablution for prayer). Yes.

And if you are in a state of janabah, then purify yourselves
