Water reaching all parts of the mouth when making fardh ghusal

· 6 Shaʻban 1444 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Once, ghusl was fardh on me, and in ghusl, when I had to rinse my mouth, I rinsed it in a normal way and gargled too. But I am quite sure that water didn't reach my inner cheeks inside the mouth. Is ghusl valid?

Answer

The water should reach all parts of the mouth for the ghusal to be valid.

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