Being in need of a fardh ghusal while travelling on an aeroplane

· 14 Rabiʻ II 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I needed to make fardh ghusal during a flight and I could not do ghusal. I could not find anything to do tayummum with. I made wudhu and prayed. Was that right or what should I have done?

Answer

The wudhu was not sufficient to purify you. After the ghusal, the salaah performed will have to be repeated.

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