Q&A for How to Perform Ghusl

Just follow the correct procedure from now on. God doesn't hold something against you if you didn't know that it was wrong.

Yes. But it would be best to take a normal shower with soap first, then do the Ghusl.

You don't repeat the total ghusl three times; you wash each individual part as mentioned above three times. So when doing each step, it is done three times.

The same method can be used, but use different intention (as Friday ghusl is optional).

Being in the state of wudhu always and keeping your private parts clean. Also bathing every day, cleaning your teeth with miswaak and having a balanced diet according to Sunnah.

You can, but it is not required.

This is the most authentic, as proven by Sunnah. However, the bare minimum is to gargle the mouth, rinse the nose, and wash the entire body, ensuring not one hair is left dry.

If you haven't done Ghusl, your Salah will be invalid. Whenever you take a shower, you can first take a normal shower and lastly perform the Ghusl.

It's not necessary to perform Ghusl immediately after sex until and unless Salah time is close.

If you found out that you made a mistake in your Salah after you finish, you have to repeat your Salah.

Yes. After ejaculation, you must perform ghusl. Otherwise, you cannot perform any act of worship, pray, or touch the Qur'an. You are considered religiously impure (naajis).

It is best to use warm or cool water. By doing the wudu in the aforementioned method, your body will adapt to the temperature.

Perform it like a compulsory ghusl to get the maximum reward, preferably in the morning before Jummah (but the night before is okay, too).

No, or your ghusl will be incomplete.

Yes, as long as you have gargled your mouth, rinsed your nose and washed every part of your body such that not one hair is left dry. It is better to do ghusl using a bucket, however.

The Prophet, peace be upon him, would wash his entire head three times, so you should also wash the entire head and not leave a portion dry.

It is permissible for you to perform ghusl naked as long as nobody can see you.

No. They are separate things. Wudhu is so you can read Salah; ghusl also does the same, but ghusl is compulsory after discharge from the body - whether or not you have had sex.

Washing and pouring is the same thing. As long as the hair and the roots have been washed, that is fine.

It's not required to perform ghusl on Fridays, but it's recommended to. If you don't just make sure you're generally clean and don't have smelly body odor .

It is the sunnah to perform wudu during ghusl - if you do not perform wudu, but the parts of the body which need to be clean in order for wudu to be valid are washed and clean, then you can read the Qur'an and pray.

According to the sunnah of the Prophet, you perform wudu during ghusl after washing the private parts.

The intention is "Nawaetu fardah Ghuslu (the bath) rafiali adati lilllahi Kahala."

Of course. Many people use a shower to perform ghusl, as they are common in most households these days.

If a man experiences semen discharge, but ejaculation is not accompanied by sexual feelings, it is sufficient to just to wash/clean the private parts and perform wudu.

It is not necessary, but if you feel that using it will purify your body more than simply using water, then you should feel free to use soap or shampoo. But is not a requirement, water is sufficient.

Do as stated above. But make sure your hair is loose and you wet thoroughly (to the roots).

Ghusl is not excepted until your period ends before it is okay. After gusl, bleeding is not okay.

It is permissible for a woman to see all of her husband’s body and for a man to see all of his wife’s body, so that is fine.

Of course! The sunnah is to wash the body part three times, so you should do that - if you're having a shower, where the water is constantly flowing, you don't need to worry about how much water gets onto your head.
