Does the Friday bath suffice for the ablution if one intends the ablution?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding this, O Shaykh, if a person takes a bath for Friday or to cool off and intends the ablution, does he have a valid ablution if he washed his limbs in order?
The Shaykh : Yes, meaning he washed his limbs in order.
The questioner : He bathed, he took a bath.
The Shaykh : It does not contradict, but he washed his limbs in order.
The questioner : No, I washed them in order.
The Shaykh : What does it mean to wash them in order?
The questioner : It means I washed my face, then I washed...
The Shaykh : It means he is immersing himself in the water.
The questioner : He is under the shower, for example.
The Shaykh : Very well.
The questioner : This is considered a valid ablution for him.
The Shaykh : If he washed them in order, it becomes an ablution. However, if he poured water over his body without order, then if it was for major ritual impurity or for a woman’s menstruation, it suffices for the ablution. But if it was to cool off or for Friday, it does not suffice, because this is for a state other than ritual impurity. Yes.
