خطوات الغسل

Fardz (Obligatory) Steps of Ghusl

There are three essential (Fardz) steps in Ghusl, which must be completed for the Ghusl to be valid:

1. Rinsing the Mouth (Madmadah):

• Take water into the mouth and rinse it thoroughly. Ensure that water reaches all parts of the mouth.

2. Rinsing the Nose (Istinshaq):

• Inhale water into the nostrils and ensure it reaches the soft part of the nose. Then, expel the water.

3. Washing the Entire Body:

• Wash the entire body, ensuring that water reaches every part, including the roots of the hair and under the nails. There should be no dry spot left on the body.

Sunnats in Ghusl.

1) To perform a ghusl in the sunnat, we must first wash both of our hands and private parts even if they may be clean, then if there is any najasat (impurity) on our body, we must wash it away.

2) We must perform a complete ablution.

3) While washing our face we must intend to perform a ghusl.

4) If water will not accumulate under our feet; we must wash our feet, too.

5) We must pour water on our entire body three times. When you do this, we must pour it on your head three times first, then on your right shoulder three times, and then on the left shoulder three times. Each time the part on which we pour water must become completely wet. We must also rub it gently, during the first pouring.

6) In a ghusl, it is permissible to pour the water on the limb to make it flow onto another limb, which, in this case, will be cleaned, too. For in a ghusl, the whole body is counted as one limb. If in performing an ablution the water poured on one limb moistens another limb, the second limb will not be considered to have been washed.

7) When a ghusl is completed it is makruh (things which our Prophet did not like) to perform an ablution. But it will become necessary to perform an ablution again if it is broken while making a ghusl.
