Salam Sister,


Cleanliness is of 2 types:

i) Ghushl or washing of the whole body;
ii) Wudu' or ritual absolution

Both are required for validity of the prayer.The first i.e., Ghushl becomes compulsory inthe following cases:
i) after sexual intercourse;
ii) after ejaculation of sperm by any reason;
iii) when the monthly menstruation of a woman has ended;
iv) when a woman's postnatal bleeding stops;
v) and when a non-Muslim embraces Islam.

Ghusl is performed by washing the private parts and removing the filth from the body, then performing the ritual ablution (Wudu) without washing the feet, then washing the whole body. The feet should be washed at the end.

How to perform Wudu' or Ritual ablution

1- Make the intension in your mind to make ablution. There is no need to express your intention in words.

2- Say Bismillah

3- Wash the hands upt o wrists.

4- Rinse mouth, clean your theeth.

5- Sniff water into the nostrils and blow it out.

6- Wash facefrom the limits of your hair to the bottom of your chin, and fromear to ear.

7- Wash the hands up to elbows, start with the right hand first

8- Pass wet hands over head, and rub with wet fingers inside & outside the ears.

9- Wash the feet up to the ankles, starting with the right foot.

The washing of the parts of the body may be donne once, twince or three times but no more than three times, inside and outside the ears and on the socks is to be done only once.

Edit:
After completing the Wudu' you say:

Ash-hadu allaa ilaaha illal-laahu wahdahoo laa shareeka lah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasooluh.
Allahummaj- alnee minat-tawwaabeena waj - alnee minal mutatahhireen.

“The proper method of ghusl (ritual bath) involves the following steps:

1. Make the niyyah (intention) to perform ghusl for purification.

2. Wash your private parts thoroughly with water.

3. Perform wudu’ (ablution) except for washing of your feet, which you can do later while bathing the body.

4. Wash the entire body, starting with your head and the right side, followed by the left.

5. It is preferred that the whole body be washed three times. The minimum is once.

Having completed the above, you are considered eligible to perform the salah (prayer).”

Edit:
sniff water into the nose and then blow the water out and using the left hand remove the water from your nose. Do this three times

Only 3 Fardhs in ghusl if these 3 are carried out you have successfully done ghusl-if even one is missing Ghusl incomplete:

1. to take water in the nostrils to the bone
2. to gargle the mouth with water
3. to cover the entire body with water


If you want to do Ghusl the sunnah way for more thawaab/reward then perform it this way:

1.istinjah

2.wudu

3.ghusl starting off by washing the right side first then the left.

Assalam Alaikum,

If Ghusal is not compulsory on you then only pouring water on the whole body after saying Bismillah in your heart will make the ghusal if not then follow any of the advice above. Both are right but method of stating and categorizing is different but Fard are only three and others are wajibat and mustahibat.

To rinse water into nostrills take a breathe in and stop it there and take water in your right hand and turn your face slightly upward so that water can creep into it and pour the water in your nostrils and jerk your head upward and water will reach end of the nose and then breathe out the water. It is easy by practice.

Hope it helps!

And Almighty Allah knows best

Just a few links that might be useful, including one on ghusl.

The Complete Hanafi Prayer:

The first few documents are charts displaying the required acts, sunnah acts, and recommended acts of each item. As far as I know, your ghusl would be valid if you got the obligatory parts correct. From "The minimums of ghusl, wudu, and prayer" at http://qa.sunnipath.com/issue_view.asp?HD=3&ID=13209&CATE=369 :
Integrals of the Purificatory Bath
Two things are obligatory for the validity of the purificatory bath:
1. Having the intention when water is first applied to the parts that must be washed. the intention depending on the state to be lifted: eg. to lift a state of majore ritual impurity (janaba), or menstruation, or the general intention "to be permitted to perform the prayer",
2. That the water reaches all of the hair and skin to the roots of the hair, under the nails,the outward visible portion of the ear canals,and the private parts of the non-virgin woman which are normally disclosed when she squats to relieve herself. Unlike ablution, the sequence of washing the parts is not obligatory.

When I snuff water, I usually don't have to close one nostril. I just inhale the water and snort it back out. Since it is a sunnah (or recommended?), I don't worry too much about whether I did it properly. I cannot find it, but my memory says that the invalid ghusl after which one has already done salat does not affect the validity of the already completed salat. Where on earth is KMI? Or Gnostic?...Show more
