The questioner : What is the method of the ritual bath that is obligatory by the Shari'ah? How is it done, for example, the ritual bath using soap?
The Shaykh : The person first performs a complete ablution.
The questioner : The ablution.
The Shaykh : Then he pours water over his head three times. Then he washes the rest of his body.
The questioner : The rest of the body.
