Performing Ghusl Before or After the Prayer Time Thinking That the Prayer Time Has Commenced
Issue No.375- If a person is sure that the time for prayer has set in and intends to perform an obligatory ghusl, but comes to know after performing it (ghusl) that it has been performed before the time, the ghusl will be valid. Similarly, if he performs ghusl with the intention of an obligatory prayer, then it turns out that the time for prayer had passed; his ghusl will still be correct.
