Does the breaking of wudhu nullify ghusl

Fatwa 41346English

Question

Salam, if I am doing gusl and then wudu breaks then do I have to start gusl again or should I continue with gusl?

Answer

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

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

If one is performing ghusl and his/her wudhu breaks, one will continue performing the ghusl and will not have to re-start the ghusl. [1]

See Fatwa #2911 also.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

أَلا ترى أَنه لَو خرج من دبره ريح أعَاد الْوضُوء
