Does ghusl suffice in place of wudu' for prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : It is well known that one who performs ghusl for janabah, and likewise for Jumu'ah, performs wudu' just as one does for prayer. So, does the wudu' of ghusl suffice as the wudu' for prayer?
The Shaykh : I mean, without the ghusl.
The questioner : I performed ghusl.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you and guide you. Your question is: does wudu' suffice without ghusl, or not?
The questioner : Does the wudu' of ghusl suffice as the wudu' for prayer?
The Shaykh : My brother, if one performs ghusl and does not perform wudu', he prays.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : However, the Sunnah, as I said, is to perform wudu' before the ghusl. But if one does not perform wudu' and performs ghusl, the prayer is permissible.
The questioner : Yes, and the evidence for this is:
The Shaykh : The evidence is that the Messenger (peace be upon him) was asked about ghusl, and he said: This is the obligatory ghusl that is required. But the Sunnah is to perform wudu' before the ghusl, as the Messenger (peace be upon him) used to do.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh.
The Shaykh: And you, if Allah wills.
The questioner : Peace be upon you
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy and blessings of Allah.
The Shaykh : I mean, without the ghusl.
The questioner : I performed ghusl.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you and guide you. Your question is: does wudu' suffice without ghusl, or not?
The questioner : Does the wudu' of ghusl suffice as the wudu' for prayer?

The questioner : Yes, and the evidence for this is:
The Shaykh : The evidence is that the Messenger (peace be upon him) was asked about ghusl, and he said:
As for me, I pour three handfuls of water over my head, and when I am pure.
فأما أنا فأحثي على رأسي ثلاث حثيات فإذا أنا طاهرThe questioner : May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh.
The Shaykh: And you, if Allah wills.
The questioner : Peace be upon you
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy and blessings of Allah.
