Commentary
It was discussed in the previous chapter that both husband and wife can take water from a single vessel and have a bath together. By the same analogy they can also perform ablution together. Ahādīth of this chapter have further established the permissibility of it. Men and women performing the ablution together could also mean their being mutually Mahram (near relations forbidden to marry each other).
