Sunnats and Aadaab of Ghusl_1
Submitted by Mohammed Gilani on
1. Do not face the qiblah while performing ghusl.
2. Bath in such a place where no one can see you. It is better to
perform ghusl with the satr area covered. However, if one is
in an enclosed area (e.g. bathroom) and one performs ghusl
without the satr covered, it will be permissible.
3. Preferably use a bucket to bath.
4. If you are performing ghusl in the shower, then ensure that
you do not waste water. Do not engage in soaping yourself or removing unwanted hair, etc. while the water is running.
This is a serious waste of water and is a cause of great sin.
5. Preferably perform ghusl while sitting.
6. Commence the ghusl by washing both hands up to the wrists
thrice.
7. Wash the private parts with the left hand. The hands and
private parts should be washed irrespective of whether there
is any impurity on them or not.
8. Wash any impurity found on the rest of the body.
9. Perform the complete wudhu. If you are bathing in a place
where the water collects on the ground and there is no water
outlet, then postpone the washing of your feet to the end of
the ghusl. After completing the other acts of the ghusl, you
should move to another place and wash your feet.
10. Pour water on the head thrice.
11. Pour water over the right side of the body thrice from top to
bottom and thereafter pour water over the left side of the
body thrice from top to bottom. Ensure that water reaches
every part of the body.
