(Ghusl)
Sometimes for Salat and other acts that require wudhu, ghusl too, becomes wajib.
The method of performing Ghusl
ISSUE 107: To perform ghusl, the complete body, including the head, and the neck must be washed. Sometimes a ghusl becomes wajib, for example in the case of janabat; and sometimes a ghusl is mustahab, like the ghusl on Friday (Jumu'ah). However, there is no difference in the way the ghusl is performed, only the niyyat will vary.ISSUE 108: Ghusl can be performed in two ways: either tartibi or irtimasi.In ghusl tartibi, according to Ihtiyat Wajib, one must start by washing the head and neck, and then the rest of the body should be washed ـ and it is better if the right half of the body is washed first, followed by the left half of the body.In ghusl irtimasi, one is allowed to place the complete body under water at one time, or in stages. Therefore, for ghusl irtimasi, the amount of water must be so much so that the person is able to submerge his complete body under the water.
Conditions necessary for a correct Ghusl
ISSUE 109: All the condrions that were necessary for a correct wudhu4 are necessary to have a correct ghusl, except for muwalat (without a gap) ـ and also, it is not necessary that the body be washed from top to bottom.
