The question

What is the correct order for purification if I experience major ritual impurity (janābah), and then discharge pre-seminal fluid (madhī) or prostatic fluid (wadī): Should I perform the ritual bath (ghusl) for janābah first, and then ritual ablution (wuḍūʾ) for madhī or wadī, or vice versa?

The answer

If a person experiences janabah (major ritual impurity requiring ghusl) and then something necessitates wudu (minor ritual impurity, like passing wind or madhy – pre-seminal fluid), he is not required to perform wudu before or after ghusl. This is because the minor ritual impurity is subsumed within the major ritual impurity, and ghusl suffices for wudu. It is preferable, when performing ghusl for janabah, to begin by washing areas of impurity with the intention of ghusl for janabah, and then perform wudu. This wudu is recommended, not obligatory.
