Ghusl

There are 3 Farz and 7 Sunnah in performing Ghusl. 

The 3 Farz are :

• To wash the inside of the mouth with water as it should reach all the parts internally. From lips to the base of throat.
• To rinse the nostrils up to the soft bone, making sure every hair is wet.
• To wash the body once from top of head to bottom of feet. Every strand of hair and skin of the body must get wet.

Please note : Before you can start on the farz  it is important that the istinja (Cleaning of private parts ) is done. If any one of these farz is missed the Ghusl will not be valid.

Things that break Ghusl are:

• Wet dream with semen discharge.
• Having sexual intercourse.
• Release of sperm with pleasure. If jumped from a higher place or lifted heavier stuff which caused sperm to discharge, Ghusl is not Wajib but the Wuzu will break.
• Haiz (monthly period for women).
• Nafaas ( The release of blood after a woman gives birth)

Sayyidah Aisha (R.A) narrates the Hadith of the Prophet (S.A.W) :“ The Religion is based on cleanliness”
