following the example of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), and because it is more helpful for the ghusl and more thorough in it. He reported with his chain of narration from ‘A’isha, who said: The Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) would not perform wudu after performing ghusl for Janaba (6). If he does not intend the wudu, it will not suffice him except for the ghusl. If he intends both and then invalidates his wudu (hadath) during his ghusl, he should complete his ghusl and then perform wudu (7). This is the opinion of ‘Ata’, ‘Amr ibn Dinar (8), and al-Thawri. It is also similar to the school of al-Shafi‘i. Al-Hasan said: He must restart the ghusl. This is incorrect, because the hadath does not contradict the ghusl, so its occurrence during it has no effect, just like anything other than the hadath.
Section: He is not obligated to pass his hand over his body during the ghusl and wudu if he is certain or reasonably confident that the water has reached his entire body. This is the opinion of al-Hasan, al-Nakha‘i, al-Sha‘bi, Hammad, al-Thawri, al-Awza‘i, al-Shafi‘i, Ishaq, and the People of Opinion (Ashab al-Ra’y). Malik said: Passing his hand over his body as far as his hand can reach is obligatory. Abu al-‘Aliyah said something similar. ‘Ata’ said regarding the person in Janaba who pours water over himself: No, rather he must perform a (proper) ghusl (9); because Allah, the Exalted, said: {Until you have performed ghusl}, and it is not said that one has performed ghusl unless one has rubbed oneself. Also, because ghusl is a purification from a hadath, rubbing with the hand is required, as in Tayammum. Our evidence is what Umm Salamah reported, saying: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am a woman who keeps my hair tightly braided (10), should I undo it for the ghusl of Janaba?" He replied: "No, it is sufficient for you to pour three handfuls of water upon your head, then pour water over yourself, and you will be purified." Reported by Muslim (11). And because it is an obligatory ghusl, it is not required
