Wudu And Shower
I understand how ghusl is shower, but wudu has required steps it seems? What if an action that breaks wudu happens in shower? Would our major impurity be washed but then we have to do wudu again?
If one has any doubt then one can do a separate wuzu, there is no bar. But as a principle, wuzu happens with Ghusl ( if done thoroughly ) [1] . Regarding impurity, its a matter of application which the person himself is a better judge whether he has achieved cleanliness or not. ____________________________________ [1] يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ إِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلاةِ فاغْسِلُواْ وُجُوهَكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ إِلَى الْمَرَافِقِ وَامْسَحُواْ بِرُؤُوسِكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ إِلَى الْكَعْبَينِ وَإِن كُنتُمْ جُنُبًا فَاطَّهَّرُواْ وَإِن كُنتُم مَّرْضَى أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ أَوْ جَاء أَحَدٌ مِّنكُم مِّنَ الْغَائِطِ أَوْ لاَمَسْتُمُ النِّسَاء فَلَمْ تَجِدُواْ مَاء فَتَيَمَّمُواْ صَعِيدًا طَيِّبًا فَامْسَحُواْ بِوُجُوهِكُمْ وَأَيْدِيكُم مِّنْهُ مَا يُرِيدُ اللّهُ لِيَجْعَلَ عَلَيْكُم مِّنْ حَرَجٍ وَلَـكِن يُرِيدُ لِيُطَهِّرَكُمْ وَلِيُتِمَّ نِعْمَتَهُ عَلَيْكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ (6:5) Believers! When you rise to pray, wash your faces and your hands as far as the elbow, and wipe your heads and wash your feet to the ankle. And if you are [ceremonially] unclean, bathe yourselves . But if you are sick or on a journey, or when, you have just relieved yourselves or had intercourse with women, you find no water, take some clean mud and wipe your faces and your hands with it. God does not wish to burden you; He seeks only to purify you and to perfect His favour to you so that you may express gratitude . (5:6) …In order to come out of this state, the ceremonial bath has been prescribed. Without this bath, the prayer cannot be offered. One should have this bath in a thorough and complete manner. The Quranic words اِطَّهَرُوا ( ittaharu ) and اِغْتَسِلوُا ( ightasilu )testify to this… (Excerpt from Meezan: Javed Ahmed Ghamidi) (Translated by Dr. Shehzad Saleem)
Wait sorry- even if we EG pass wind during ghusl, we can pray straight afterwards?
That depends, for instance, If it was a ceremonial bath and requirements of thoroughess and competeness were fulfilled before going to the toilet, then simple wuzu would suffice afterward.
