The ruling on performing wudu' for one who uses soap in the ghusl for janabah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: In the ghusl for janabah, if a person bathes with water first, and then uses soap in the same place, is there any issue with that? And is it necessary to perform wudu'?
The Shaykh: Repeat.
The presenter: He says: In the ghusl for janabah, if a person bathes with water first, and then uses soap in the same place, is there any issue with that? And is it necessary to perform wudu'?
Answer:
There is no issue if one performs the ghusl for janabah using soap, or suds, or ishan, or anything else; there is no harm in it. However, it is more complete to perform the wudu' for prayer first, and then perform the ghusl for janabah, following the practice of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). But if one performs the ghusl for janabah only and does not... perform the wudu', and does not do the wudu'; there is no blame on him. He becomes purified from the janabah, and when he wants to pray, he performs the wudu' for prayer.
As for combining them, that is the most complete: he performs the wudu' for prayer, and then bathes his entire body with soap, or otherwise, but he must not touch his private parts. If he touches them, he must repeat the wudu'. Yes, if he touches his private part—meaning the genital area, the penis, or the anus—if he touches it, he must repeat the wudu' prescribed by the Shari'ah: he washes his face and hands, wipes his head and ears, and washes his feet. This is the wudu' prescribed by the Shari'ah.
As for if he did not, meaning: he poured water over his body, but did not touch his private part during the bath; then his first wudu' is valid. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
