The ruling on one who performs ghusl for janabah by washing only his private parts
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says, Shaykh: I was ignorant of the method of performing ghusl for janabah. I thought this purification was like the purification from urine or feces; that is, I would purify myself by washing only the place of janabah without taking a bath. I prayed several prayers in that state. What is the ruling on this action, may Allah reward you?
Answer:
He says he washes the place of janabah. What does he mean by the place of janabah? Janabah is in the entire body; it is not in a specific place, unless he means he washes what was affected by semen, for example. He must repeat the prayers he prayed without performing ghusl. He must repeat his prayer because he prayed without ritual purity. And [the verse says], "And if you are in a state of janabah, then purify yourselves." The requirement is to perform ghusl over the entire body. Yes.
