Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it necessary to use detergents and soap during the ghusl for janabah, or is water alone sufficient?
Answer:
Water is sufficient. Using detergents is not part of the ghusl for janabah; it falls under cleaning. If he wants to clean himself while performing the ghusl for janabah, he may use cleaning agents; there is no harm in that.
