Question:
The second question is from the brother Dakhil Allah, who says: If a person takes a bath to remove any state of ritual impurity during the time of prayer, does that suffice in place of the ablution for prayer, or do you direct him to something else?
Answer:
The Sunnah for one who is in a state of major ritual impurity is to begin with the ablution. He should first clean himself, then perform the ablution for prayer, and then complete his bath by pouring water over his head three times, then over his right side, then his left, and completing his bath. This is the Sunnah. However, if he takes the bath with the intention of removing both the major and the minor state of ritual impurity, that suffices for him; based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih al-Bukhari 1 The minor is included in the major. But the Sunnah and what is better is to begin with the ablution after cleaning oneself, and then complete his bath. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. You only make the intention a condition, O Shaykh, if he intends to remove the minor and the major state of ritual impurity?
The Shaykh: The intention for both matters, yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.

The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended.
