Question

If wudu breaks during Ghusl, is there need to restart the Ghusl?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

During Ghusl, those things that invalidate wudu for example passing wind do not invalidate the Ghusl. The Ghusl will remain valid. However, if one’s wudu broke during Ghusl then he should renew his wudu if the limbs of wudu have not been washed after that.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
