The answer

If a Muslim needs to perform both for (major ritual impurity) and ghusl for Jumu'ah (Friday prayer), one single ghusl suffices, if he intends both (to cover both purifications) with it. This is based on the Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) saying: "Indeed, actions are by intentions." Jurists such as Imam Al-Nawawi and Ibn Qudamah have explicitly stated that this is sufficient. The two Sheikhs, Ibn Baz and Ibn Uthaymeen, also adopted this view. Ibn Uthaymeen clarified that whoever intends ghusl for janabah only, it suffices for the Jumu'ah ghusl if performed after sunrise. And whoever intends both will attain the reward for both. However, whoever intends ghusl for Jumu'ah only, it will not suffice for janabah.
