Conditions under Which Ghusl Is Valid

Issue 209: All conditions which were considered necessary for Wudhu to be valid are also accounted as requisites for the validity of Ghusl, except for Muwalaat (time succession). It is not necessary to wash the body downwards either.

Issue 210: A person, who must perform more than one obligatory Ghusl for different reasons and purposes, is allowed to perform one Ghusl intending it to represent all the others or perform them one by one.

Q211: Is it permissible to offer prayers with recommended Ghusls like Friday Ghusl etc. or with obligatory Ghusls other than Janabah Ghusl, and is this sufficiency of Ghusl for prayers specifically appertained to Janabah Ghusl as it is mentioned in Ibn-e-Abi Omayr's Mursalah, “Every Ghusl must be preceded by Wudhu except Janabah Ghusl”, or his other Mursala, which means, “There is Wudhu in every Ghusl except Janabah”?

A: It is unnecessary to perform Wudhu after any Ghusl and it does not appertain to Janabah Ghusl and as it is mentioned in Muhammad-ibne-Muslim's Sahiha (a reliable tradition), “Ghusl is a more pure wash than Wudhu, therefore it is sufficient for prayers, and Wudhu is unnecessary when Ghusl is performed”. To explain this, since a Sahiha is more reliable than a Mursala, it is preferred, and in case there seems to be a contradiction, it is considered primary, as it is then obviated by a careful common consideration of both traditions.

Issue 212: In immersion Ghusl, the entire body must be pure, but in sequential Ghusl, it is not necessary for the entire body to be pure; thus, it suffices to purify each part before performing the Ghusl of that part.

Q213: When one performs Ghusl, is it allowable that they perform the Ghusl of an impure part of the body by the time they are purifying that part from impurity?

A: It is not allowable to purify and perform Ghusl at once with a single rinse, unless it is intended that they use some of the water for purification and the rest for performing the Ghusl of that part, that is, they must do them in two stages.

Issue 214: Jabeerah Ghusl is similar to Jabeerah Wudhu.

Issue 215: A person who is keeping an obligatory fast is not allowed to perform immersion Ghusl because it is not allowed to immerse one’s head in water while fasting; but if one performs immersion Ghusl in such a situation due to forgetting, it is valid.

Issue 216: While performing Ghusl, it is not necessary to wash the body rubbing the hands against it, and it suffices if mere water reaches all parts of the body.
