passing the hand is not required in it, similar to the washing of impurities (12). What they mentioned regarding the ghusl is not conceded; for it is said: "He washed the vessel," even if he did not pass his hand over it (13), and a large flow of water is called a "ghasul" (14). In Tayammum, we have been commanded to wipe, because it is a purification with dust, and it is usually impossible to pass the dust over the body except with the hand. If it is said: "But this hadith does not mention the intention, which is obligatory, nor rinsing the mouth and sniffing water, which are obligatory according to you." We say: As for the intention, she asked him about the ghusl (15) for Janaba, and there is no ghusl for Janaba except with intention. As for rinsing the mouth and sniffing water, they have entered into its generality, due to his saying: "Then pour water over yourself," and the mouth and nose are part of it.
Section: Neither the order (tartib) nor the sequence (muwalat) is obligatory in the parts of wudu if we state that the ghusl suffices for both, because they are two acts of worship of which one has entered into the other, thus the ruling of the minor one falls away, like 'Umrah with Hajj. Ahmad explicitly stated this. Hanbal said: I asked him about a person in Janaba who performed ghusl while wearing a tight ring? He said: He should wash the location of the ring. I said: What if his ghusl has dried? He said: He should wash it; it is not in the same status as wudu. Wudu is specific, whereas this is general; Allah, the Exalted, said: {And if you are in a state of Janaba, then purify yourselves (16)}. I said: What if he prayed then remembered? He said: He should wash its location, then repeat the prayer. Most scholars do not view separating the parts of the ghusl as invalidating it, except that Rabi'ah said: Whoever does that intentionally, I consider that he must repeat the ghusl. Al-Layth also said this. It is differed upon (17) from Malik, and there is an opinion regarding it among the Shafi'i scholars. What the majority hold is...
