Answer
It is Mustahabb to make Wudhu before bathing. However, if one did not make Wudhu before bathing, since the limbs of Wudhu will be washed during bathing, the Wudhu will be valid. Wudhu does not have to repeated before performing Salaat.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
