The Ruling on Water Dripping from the Ghusl and the Obligation of Rubbing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, is the water that drips from the ghusl pure or not?
The Shaykh:
It is pure, yes. The water that falls is pure, yes.
The questioner:
If a Muslim takes a ghusl from a shower, is he required to rub and scrub?
The Shaykh:
Rubbing is recommended and not obligatory, whether from a shower or otherwise. The important thing is to run the water over the body. So if he rubs his body, that is better and better, but it is not obligatory. The important thing is to run the water and let it flow, yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge, and may He benefit Islam and the Muslims through you.
