Does the Friday bath (ghusl) remove ritual impurity (hadath), and should one discard food for imported chickens that is doubtful in its permissibility, or should it be given to someone who considers it permissible?

The Friday (ritual bath) removes ritual impurity () if the person performing the ghusl intends to remove it along with the ghusl. However, if they only intend the Friday ghusl and do not intend to remove ritual impurity, then it is not removed, due to the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Deeds are only by intentions." If one performs ghusl for Friday, forgetting their major ritual impurity, some jurists, like the Hanbalis, hold that their impurity is removed, while the Shafi'is and Malikis are of the view that it is not removed.
