The obligatory bath(ghusl)







The ritual impurities is of two kinds. Minor ritual impurity and major ritual impurity. The minor ritual impurity is the occurence of whatever invalidates the Wudu. Such as emitting gas, urine, or feces. The major ritual impurity is the occurence of any of the five matters that mandate the purificatory bath, which are: 1. one emitting meni/semen, 2. Sexual intercourse 3. Menstruation 4. Post-partum bleeding or 5. Giving birth.

There are two integrals for the purificatory obligatory bath. The first is the intention, when the water touches the first part of the body. So one intends for example: I intend to do the obligatory purificatory bath, or I intend to remove the state of major ritual impurity. The second integral is washing the entire body with water, both the skin and hair, even if the hair is thich. Recommended matters of the purificatory bath include saying Bismillah when starting the bath, making Wudu before performing the bath, starting with the right parts, doing everything three times, washing one part before the previous one dries, making sure to wash the body folds such as those of the ears.
