The Manner of Ghusl from Janabah
Question: What is the best way to perform ghusl from janabah?
Answer: The best way to perform ghusl from janabah is as reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in his practice: that he first performs istinja, then performs wudu as for prayer, then throws water on his head three times while running his fingers through his hair, (peace and blessings be upon him), then pours water over the rest of his body three times. This is the best and most complete manner. Then he washes his feet, (peace and blessings be upon him), after finishing the ghusl. This is the manner reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
Question: The intention is naturally to be made secretly?
Answer: He intends, then says the name of Allah, then washes his hands three times, then washes his private parts and whatever has soiled them, then performs wudu as for prayer, except that he delays washing his feet. Then he performs ghusl for the rest of his body, then washes his feet. This is the manner of ghusl for janabah.
Question: If he pours water over his entire body, is that sufficient for him?
Answer: What is sufficient is that he intends to remove both the minor and major states of ritual impurity, then pours water over his body once. This is sufficient.
[The Manner of Tayammum and Its Conditions]
Question: What is the manner of tayammum and what are its conditions?
Answer: The prescribed manner of tayammum is: to strike the ground with his hands, fingers spread, with one strike, then wipe the inside of his fingers over his face, and wipe his hands with his palms. If he strikes twice, one strike for his face and one for his hands, there is no harm in that. Both manners are reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), though tayammum with one strike, dividing it between his face and his hands, is the stronger and better position.
As for the conditions of tayammum: For the validity of tayammum, it is required that there be no water or an inability to use it;because of His saying, the Exalted:[Al-Ma'idah 5:6] ،until His saying: [Al-Ma'idah: 6] .
So the condition for the validity of tayammum: It is the absence of water or the inability to use it due to illness or the like, or that he fears thirst or harm from using it; because the water he has is not sufficient for his drinking, cooking, and purification.
Likewise, it is required that the tayammum be on soil, pure soil;because of His saying, the Exalted: : meaning pure. This is what is required for tayammum, and Allah the Exalted knows best.

فَلَمْ تَجِدُوا مَاءً فَتَيَمَّمُوا صَعِيدًا طَيِّبًا فَامْسَحُوا بِوُجُوهِكُمْ وَأَيْدِيكُمْ مِنْهُSo the condition for the validity of tayammum: It is the absence of water or the inability to use it due to illness or the like, or that he fears thirst or harm from using it; because the water he has is not sufficient for his drinking, cooking, and purification.
