Question

What is the sunnah method of having ghusal? Is there any difference in the method if one is having a fardh ghusal (i.e. ghusal of janaabat)?

Answer

1. The Sunnah method of making ghusal is that one commences by washing the hands and thereafter washing the private areas. Thereafter one should make wudhu and then one should wash the entire body thrice. One will commence by washing the head thrice and thereafter by washing the right and left shoulder thrice. One should ensure that one gargles the mouth and rinses the nostrils while making wudhu as this is fardh in ghusal.

2. There is no difference between the sunnah method of ghusal in the case where one requires a fardh ghusal (i.e. ghusal of janaabat) or any other sunnah ghusal.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
