If you enter the bathroom after and wash part of your body, then perform , your ghusl is valid and not invalidated by the water that touched you before the ghusl. Furthermore, ghusl for janabah is not obligatory immediately; rather, it is permissible to delay it until a time when ghusl can be performed and prayer can be caught. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, would sometimes be in a state of janabah when dawn broke, then he would perform ghusl and fast, which indicates the permissibility of delaying ghusl.
