Method of making ghusal

· 19 Rabiʻ II 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Please can you tell me am I making ghusal right as I was thought this way in school.

Make niyyah

Wash private parts

Wash hands

Make complete wudu

Pour water over entire body 3 times.

I have been told this is incorrect. An is it the same for males?

Answer

This is correct. However after wudhu one should pour water over ones body thrice. One will commence by pouring the water over the head thrice and thereafter by pouring the water over 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.

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