Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

The water on the body after ghusl is pure.

The meaning of Minhaj is manner, method, and path. Minhajuddeen means the part of Deen and religion.

And Allah knows best

و في استعمال لفظ الماضي دلالة على انه ما دام على العضو ليس له حكم الاستعمال بلا خلاف كما في التمرتاشي
