Ghusl of menstruation

Methodology of Ghusl

The process of performing ghusl is detailed and requires adherence to specific rituals that underline the sanctity of the act. The primary steps in executing ghusl following menstruation include:

• Intention (Niyyah): Before commencing ghusl, the individual must cultivate a sincere intention to purify herself for the sake of Allah.
• Washing the limbs: The individual begins by cleansing their hands, mouth, nostrils, and other bodily parts, ensuring cleanliness before the main washing occurs.
• Comprehensive washing: It is requisite to wash the entire body thoroughly, ensuring that no part remains dry. This typically involves pouring water over the head and body, often threefold, to attain a complete state of purity.
• Ensuring no barriers: It is crucial that water reaches every square inch of the body, devoid of any barriers such as paint, nail polish, or other substances that may inhibit water from making contact with the skin.
