I do not follow a Mathhab (School of Thought), and I do not know if I have to follow a Mathhab, and if I had to, I would not know which one I should follow.

  • Dirt from sweat does not invalidate Ghusl

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question about dirt when performing Ghusl (ritual shower).

  • Removing white matter at sides of toenails in Ghusl

    I read that continuity is not necessaryin Ghusl (ritual bath).

    While performing Ghusl (ritual shower), do we have to wash between the buttocks, and do we have to run our fingernails underneath each nail and each toenail?

    Assalaamu alaykum. I am very fond of taking long hot showers, be it for the ritual bath or as a regular bath. I take long time to finish it and I enjoy it.

  • Woman should hasten to perform Ghusl when she becomes pure

    I know that Muslim women are allowed to delay the Ghusl (ritual shower) until the time of the next prayer if they so wish.

  • Whoever forgot washing body part during Ghusl is not obliged to wash it immediately

    Assalaamu alaykum. I know that if a person remembers not having washed a part of their body during Ghusl (ritual shower), they can wash it when they remember.
