Shower . Wudu (Ablution) . Salah (Prayers)

When you shower and wash every part of your body thoroughly, is it still necessary to do Wudhu before prayer? And if you break wind afterwards, must you redo the Wudhu?

Washing your body with out intention of Spritual washing which is called Ghusl, does not mean that you will not need Wudhu for Prayers. Wudhu is must before performing Prayers. If you perform obligatory Ghusl like Ghusl of Janabah, then you pray with that Ghusl with out Wudhu. If you perform a recommended Ghusl like Ghusl of Jum'a, then you can pray with it with out a need for Wadhu.

Just shower or washing the body does not mean valid Ghusl.

After you perform Ghusl or Wudhu, your state of purity ( Taharah) continues unless it is broken by wind, urine, stool, sleeping, etc. Any breaking of wind will invalidate the Wudhu and Taharah.

Wassalam.

Shower . Wudu (Ablution) . Water

If I take a shower in the morning, is it possible to make Wudhu while in the shower to save time and water? Is there a practical way of doing this or do I need to just complete my shower first and then make Wudhu separately afterwards?

You can perform Wudhu just before starting your shower. It can be also done after shower but after you dry your head and feet where wiping on them is compulsory.

Wassalam.

Ghusl . Wudu (Ablution) . Shower . Jumu'ah

I take daily showers. If I am not in a state of ritual impurity and it is not Jum'a, can I still make Ghusl and have this count for Wudhu as well? Is there a specific intention that I must make to achieve that?

Wudu is a worship and cannot be replaced by ordinary washing or shower. The recommended ghusls are described in books of fiqh and you cannot make ghusl out of those described.
