370. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbās said: "One of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ took a bath from a large vessel, then the Prophet ﷺ came and had a bath or ablution, and she said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, I was sexually impure.' He said: 'Water does not become impure.'" (Da'if)
370 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: اغْتَسَلَ بَعْضُ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي جَفْنَةٍ، فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، لِيَغْتَسِلَ، أَوْ يَتَوَضَّأَ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي كُنْتُ جُنُبًا، فَقَالَ: «الْمَاءُ لَا يُجْنِبُ»

We know from the Hadith that it is allowed for a man to perform ablution from the water left over by a woman in a vessel after taking her bath. It is, therefore, all the more acceptable for a man to perform ablution from the water left over by the woman after performing her ablution.
