  • Rubbing body hair in Ghusl

    Assalaamu alaykum. In Ghusl (ritual bath), I know that you have to rub the hair on the head and the beard in order to ensure that water reaches the skin underneath, but what about the short hair on the legs and the private parts? Is it sufficient to let water go over them or do you have to rub the hair in these areas too? Also, regarding the short hair.. More

  • Bleeding because of breaking of hymen does not require Ghusl

    Assalaamu alaykum. My question is quite a personal one, but it is important to know for me. It has been around a month since I got married. A day ago, I had sexual intercourse with my husband, and the next morning, I did Ghusl (ritual bath) as well; however, this time my hymen broke, and I suffered bleeding. After I again made Ghusl today, the bleeding.. More

  • Finding congealed substance on skin after Ghusl

    Assalaamu alaykum. I recently noticed that there was a part of my body that was was covered in a congealed substance. I did Ghusl (ritual bath) for Janaabah (major ritual impurity) almost a week or two ago and have reason to believe that this congealed substance has been there since that time. My question is, I know that if there was a part of my body.. More

  • Doubting washing the interior part of the ears after finishing ghusl

    Assalaamu alaykum. I always perform the Sunnah ghusl (ritual bath) from janabah (state of major ritual impurity). Recently, I feel that I have unintentionally neglected washing the interior part of the ears (not the ear canal). I always wash behind the ears and wipe them during the wudu (ablution) part of ghusl, but I strongly suspect that I have not.. More

  • Performing ghusl with streaming water (fountain, river, shower)

    Assalaamu alaykum. Dear brothers, I read some books about ghusl (ritual bath) with streaming water (fountain, river, shower). It says that with sreaming water, all of the acts of the Sunnah (related to it) will be fulfilled and one does not have to wash the body parts thrice. Can you give me some hadith about this please ? May Allaah bless all of the.. More

  • Feeling dizzy during ghusl

    Assalaamu alaykum. During the hot months, the water from the shower is so hot that the small bathroom that I use becomes humid quickly. When doing ghusl (ritual bath), I sometimes feel dizzy when this happens. Just recently, in the middle of my ghusl (which I did standing), I was dizzy and was using the wall for support when I lifted one of my feet.. More

  • Waswaas about dead skin

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have asked this question before, but I did not get an answer to it. I am sorry if I overburden you or anything; may Allaah reward you for your work in answering and spreading beneficial knowledge and answers. I have waswaas (devilish whisperings) and if you give me an answer so that I know what to do, I can just give up on that.. More

  • Urinating while taking a bath in the bathtub

    Assalaamu alaykum. One my friends told me that if you urinate while taking bath in the bathtub, then bad days will come and it prevents the increase of provisions. While taking a bath, sometimes we feel we need to pass urine, and the place is cleaned by flushing with strong water. In Islam, is it true that urinating while taking a bath is not allowed?.. More

  • Washing holes in the skin during ghusl

    Assalaamu alaykum. I want to ask you regarding ghusl (ritual bath taken in the state of major ritual impurity). At my penis, I have some overlapping skin that forms a very small hole, like an earring hole, which is wide enough for a needle to pass through it. I find it it very hard to insert water inside this hole, so I just pour water on top of it... More

  • Ghusl is only required when a person wishes to perform what requires major ritual purity

  • Performing ghusl without washing the ears

    Assalaamu alaykum. I am a Hanafi, but I did not know that you had to wash your ears until today. Does this mean that all my previous ghusls (ritual shower) were invalid, and all my acts of worship based on those ghusls too? Is it obligatory to wash the feet if a person showers and then walk a few steps while doing so; for example, to get something from.. More

  • He pefrormed ghusl but forgot washing his ear until next day

    Assalaamu alaykum, this question is urgent. I want to ask you about continuity in ghusl (shower taken in case of major impurity). If I do ghusl and a day later realise that I did not wash my ear, then can I just continue to wash that part only on the next day? My next question is: if I only wash the part that I did not wash the day before, do I need.. More

  • Washing the inner parts of the ears in Ghusl

    Is it obligatory to wash the inner parts of the ears in Ghusl (shower taken when in a state of major impurity)? Does abandoning this render Ghusl invalid? Is it obligatory to remove the wax that may be inside the ears or is it enough to pass the wet finger inside them without removing that wax? .. More
