Question:
And is it obligatory for a disbeliever to perform ghusl when he embraces Islam?
Answer:
It is better, and some scholars hold it to be obligatory, but it is a recommended practice (sunnah); because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered some people to do it and did not order others, which indicates that it is not obligatory upon them.
