غسل کب ضروری ہے؟

Ghusl (full-body purification) is required in Islam in certain situations to ensure a person is in a state of ritual purity. Here are the key circumstances when Ghusl becomes obligatory:

1. After Sexual Activity

• Janabah (Major Ritual Impurity): Ghusl is required after any form of sexual activity that results in ejaculation or penetration, even if there is no ejaculation. This applies to both men and women.
• Nocturnal Emission (Wet Dream): If a person experiences a wet dream that results in ejaculation, Ghusl is required before they can perform acts of worship.

2. After Menstruation (Hayd)

• Post-Menstrual Ghusl: After a woman’s menstrual period ends, she is required to perform Ghusl before engaging in prayer, fasting, or other acts of worship.

3. After Postnatal Bleeding (Nifas)

• Post-Nifas Ghusl: After the bleeding following childbirth (known as Nifas) stops, a woman must perform Ghusl to regain ritual purity.

4. Conversion to Islam

• New Muslim’s Ghusl: A person who converts to Islam is required to perform Ghusl as part of their entry into the faith, symbolizing a complete purification.

5. After Death

• Washing the Deceased: Ghusl is performed on a deceased Muslim before the funeral prayer (Salat al-Janazah) and burial.

6. Before Certain Acts of Worship

• Friday Prayer (Jumu’ah): It is recommended (Sunnah) but not obligatory to perform Ghusl before attending the Friday prayer.
  Eid Prayers: It is also recommended to perform Ghusl before attending the Eid prayers.
• Entering Ihram for Hajj or Umrah: It is Sunnah to perform Ghusl before entering the state of Ihram for Hajj or Umrah.

7. Upon Recovery from Insanity or Unconsciousness

• After Regaining Sanity: If a person recovers from a state of insanity or unconsciousness, it is recommended to perform Ghusl, especially if the unconscious state lasted a long time.

8. After Childbirth (Without Bleeding)

• Post-Delivery Ghusl: If a woman gives birth without experiencing postnatal bleeding, it is still obligatory to perform Ghusl.
