The ruling on performing wudu' before ghusl and relying on it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! I perform a complete wudu' before I take a ghusl, and then I pour water over my entire body, come out of the bathroom, and go to pray without performing wudu' a second time after the ghusl. Rather, I rely on the wudu' I performed before the ghusl. Is my action correct or incorrect? I heard that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform wudu' before the ghusl and rely on that. Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer: What you did is the Sunnah, and you have succeeded in following the Sunnah. This is the Sunnah: to perform wudu' and then ghusl. This is how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do it; he would perform wudu' and then take a ghusl, may Allah's prayers and blessings be upon him. So by doing this, you have conformed to the Sunnah, and praise be to Allah. However, if something occurs from you that invalidates the wudu' during the ghusl, such as touching your private parts or passing wind, then this obligates you to repeat the wudu'. But as long as you have not touched your private parts and nothing has come out of you that invalidates the wudu', then your action is good and it conforms to the Sunnah. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
