The Correct Method for Performing Ghusl from Janabah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner is an Egyptian resident in Riyadh. He says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the correct method for performing ghusl from janabah? And is wudu' sufficient when performing ghusl?
Answer:
The correct method is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do in his ghusl: he would first perform istinja' by washing the private parts, then perform wudu' as for prayer, then pour water over his body, and perform ghusl with water three times. He would start with his head, pouring water over it until it was thoroughly wet, then pour water over the rest of his body three times. This is the recommended and most complete method. If one limits it to a single time that covers the entire body, with nothing left dry, that is sufficient. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
