Performing the Ablution after taking a bath
*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: If a person enters the state of janaabah (major sexual impurity), and then took a bath, is he required to perform the ablution after having taken a bath?

Response: If a person was in a state of janaabah and then took a bath, then his bathing suffices (and he is not required to perform) the ablution even if he had not made the intention, as He (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) says:

{If you are in a state of janaabah (i.e. after a sexual discharge), purify yourselves (bathe your whole body)}, [Soorah al-Maa.idah, Aayah 6]

However, take note that it is imperative gargling and sniffing water up the nose and blowing it out (both as done in the ablution) is done during the bath for janaabah.
