Is wudhu done after gusl?

Question

Is wudu done after gusl (bathing)? I have this question because you wash your whole body during gusl including hands, face, legs, ears and all other parts.

Answer 1

                                   In the name of Allah

Is wudhu done after gusl?

To the best of my knowledge, solely a kind of Qusl (Qusl al-Jenabah) would be sufficient instead of Wudu. In other word, you don’t need for wudu after doing Qusl-a;-Jenabah. But after doing other Qusls, you ought to take wudu. (According to majority of Shia Marja’s)

Answer 2

Well Sunni madhabs made a lot of rules for ghusl, but the most important part of it is that water should reach the whole body.

Short answer

A short Answer for your Question could be find for Ghusl al Janabah (as an interpretation of Verse (5:6))

And if you are in a state of janabah, then purify yourselves وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ جُنُبًا فَاطَّهَّرُوا

in this hadith narrted by um al-mu'minyn 'Aisha (May Allah be pleased with her) which was qualified as once da'if and once as sahih in Jami' at-Tirmdihi and hassen in Sunan ibn Majah and Sunan an-Nasa-i.

So far this answer is in totally agreement with the one of our brother @ali-علی and the shi'a Marji's, but i would like to add some more information.

Some details

• Now this Answer is valid for a Ghusl wajib this means ghusl Janabah, ghusl from menstruation etc.. But if this is a ghusl which is not fard/farz (for example ghusl for friday or 'id prayer ...) some scholars say this ghusl isn't valid for prayer even if you had the intention.

• An other point if you during your ghusl have lost your tahara/purity you should do wudu after the ghusl!

Note that our Messenger used to do wudu as a part of ghusl (see my 2nd reference)!

Here are two fatwas on the mater Arabic and English!

And Allah knows best!
