The full ritual bath and its sufficiency for major ritual impurity in place of the ablution for prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I get up for the dawn prayer and perform the full ritual bath for major ritual impurity if I am in that state. Does the full ritual bath suffice in place of the ablution for prayer so that I can go to pray?

Answer:
What is prescribed for you is to perform the ablution for prayer, then perform the full ritual bath. You should clean yourself after relieving yourself, then perform the ablution for prayer, then perform the full ritual bath. This is how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do it. However, if you intend with this full ritual bath to cover both states of impurity, intending the minor and the major impurity, and that it serves in place of the ablution, then it suffices according to the stronger position.
But it is better for you to perform the ablution for prayer first, clean yourself after relieving yourself, then perform the ablution for prayer, and then complete the full ritual bath. This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do. Yes.
