Alter Rebbe’s Shulchan Aruch or Mishnah Berurah?

The Rav Name: Rabbi Boaz Yurkowitz

Shalom Daat.
I have a question as a Ashkenaz Chassid. My posek acharon is Mishnah berurah as a Chasid is that yotzeh or should i be learning Alter Rebbes shulchan aruch harav which is for chasidim ? Is it fine to just learn and stick to Mishnah berurah or should i learn Shulchan aruch harav despite not following it or learning it for reference. Shulchan aruch harav is also incomplete missing chapters and portions, while Mishnah berurah is more recent and complete, which is sort of why i’m having a problem deciding.

Ashyanem dank v’kol tuv.

There are two aspects to going to the Mikveh: 1. Immersion in accordance with the ruling of Ezra HaSofer, which is done in case there was nocturnal emission, and is therefore very important. 2. Immersion for the sake of additional purity, and for this purpose if you have difficulty in going, you can say Mishnayot from Seder Taharot.
