  • Finding fluff on hair after performing Ghusl

  • Removing white matter at sides of toenails in Ghusl

    I read that continuity is not necessaryin Ghusl (ritual bath). So when I was performing Ghusl, I thought that I would take that whitish matter (that accumulates at the side of the toenails) out of my nails later on, when I would perform ablution for the prayer. Do I have to repeat my Ghusl because I intentionally delayed removing that from my feet?.. More

  • Washing between buttocks in Ghusl

    Assalaamu alaykum. I recently learned that washing between the buttocks is obligatory in the obligatory Ghusl (ritual bath), I did not know that before.

  • Washing between buttocks and under nails in Ghusl

    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?

  • Excessive use of water in taking bath

    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. It helps me relax and has many other benefits for me. On the other hand, Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, discouraged excessive use of water even for ablution. Does this mean that..

  • 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. That said, if a person remembers but does not wash the missed area immediately, is their Ghusl invalidated? For example: they are walking towards the washroom in order to wash the missed area.. More

  • 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

  • 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
