How to perform wudu' for one who is swimming in the sea

Question:
The brother I. A. S. from al-Zulfi in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia says in his question: If I want to take a bath for cleaning and wudu', should I perform wudu' before the bath, after it, or during it? And if I am swimming in the sea, is it permissible for me to perform wudu' while I am in the water? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
There is no blame on you for performing wudu' before the bath or after it, but if the bath is for janabah, the sunnah is to start with wudu' following the example of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
As for if you are in the sea swimming, there is no blame on you for performing wudu' while you are in the sea, provided you observe the order and continuity. You start with your face, then your right hand, then your left hand, then you wipe your head and your ears, then you move your legs with the intention of wudu', the right one then the left one. May Allah guide them all.
