Does a permissible bath suffice in place of ablution?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks and says: Does taking a bath other than the bath for major ritual impurity suffice in place of ablution?
Answer:
It does not suffice in place of ablution; the ordered ablution is necessary. However, in the case of major ritual impurity, if one takes a bath for the major ritual impurity and intends both, it suffices according to a group of scholars. The better course is to perform ablution even for major ritual impurity: one performs ablution, then completes the bath. This is the better course.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), in his bath for major ritual impurity, would first clean himself, then perform the ablution for prayer, then pour water over his head three times, then over his body. This is the recommended practice, and this is the better course. Yes.
