Does a person have to make Wudhu again after taking a bath?

Question

I would just like to know weather it is needed to make Wudhu whilst having a bath as you are already Purifying yourself by Bathing from head to toe so then do you still have to make Wudhu

Also is it Permissible to bath with your husband or is it a ghunna, if it is a sin then is your Ghusal counted??

1. It is not necessary to make wudhu if one takes a normal bath. Those limbs that are necessary to wash in wudhu have been included in a normal bath. To make wudhu after taking a bath is wastage of water. It has come in a hadith:

Ibn Abbas narrates the Rasulullah (Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam) has said, “Whosoever makes wudhu after taking a bath is not from us.” (Mu’jam Saghir & Mu’jam Awsat of Tabrani)

2. Modesty is a very essential and noble characteristic in Shariah. The Prophet has said:

Abu Hurairah narrates that Nabi (Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam) has said, “There are above sixty branches of Faith and modesty is an important branch of Faith.” (Sahih Bukhari & Sahih Muslim)

One must try to bring modesty into every aspect of life. Even whilst bathing, one should try to adopt modesty. To look at the private parts of one’s spouse is permissible; however it is better to refrain out of modesty. Aisha (Radhiyallahu Anhu), the wife of Rasulullah (Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam) says:

“I have never seen the private parts of Rasulullah (Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam. (Sunnan Ibn Majh, Musnad Imam Ahmed, Shamail al-Tirmidhi)
