Woman washing the outer portion of her private part for ghusal to be valid

· 13 Muharram 1447 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I wanted to know if a woman has to wash inside the lips of the private part where the urethral opening is situated as the urine comes from it? Doesn’t it make inside the lips of the private part impure?

If yes, do I have to wash the inside of the lips also during fard ghusl?

Answer

In ghusal, she has to wash the outer portion of her private part. It is not compulsory upon her to wash the inner portion of her private part for her ghusal to be valid.

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