Performing (ritual bath) does not suffice for wudu (ablution) unless it is due to a major ritual impurity (, menstruation, or postpartum bleeding). If the person performing ghusl intends to remove both minor and major ritual impurities, it suffices for both. As for rinsing the mouth and nose, they are obligatory in ghusl. It is recommended for the person performing ghusl to perform wudu at the beginning of the ghusl. However, if they do not and instead pour water over their entire body, that suffices, and their ghusl is valid. They may rinse their mouth and nose at any point during the ghusl.
