What should be done if madhy (pre-seminal fluid) is discharged during ghusl (ritual bath) for janabah (state of ritual impurity requiring a full bath): Is it obligatory to perform wudu (ablution) then continue, or to complete the ghusl then perform wudu after finishing?

If a person performing (ritual bath) from major impurity () passes wind during the ghusl, they must repeat the ablution (wudu), and then complete their ghusl, or perform ablution then complete the ghusl. Some scholars are of the opinion that it is preferable to repeat the ablution and what has passed of the ghusl in order to maintain its order. Ibn Rajab mentioned that Ibn Sirin, Al-, Ata, and Amr ibn Dinar believed in completing the ghusl after the impurity, which resembles the view of the Shafi'i school.
