Question

I have the following queries regarding Ghusl: 1. Is it mandatory to perform Wudhu during Ghusl or will cleansing the entire body suffice? 2. If a person intends performing salaat immediately after Ghusl, is it necessary to perform Wudhu after Ghusl prior to performing Salaat? 3. If a person passes wind during Ghusl, does this make it necessary to perform Wudhu after Ghusl prior to performing Salaat? Jaza-ka-allah

Answer

It is Mustahabb (good) to make Wudhu before performing Ghusl.

If one did not make Wudhu, the Ghusl will suffice. There is no need to make Wudhu after the Ghusl is performed. If one passed wind during Ghusl, then the Wudhu will be invalidated.

How is ghusl (the obligatory bath) performed?

“A1) One should refrain from making Tilaawat by the deceased before Ghusl is executed due to the deceased being in a state of Najaasat (due to death). A2) If one is not in the same room as the deceased, then one may make Tilaawat…”
