GhuslRitual Bath

• What are the actions that obligate ghusl?
• Discharge of al-mani (semen) whether during sleep
  or wakefulness.
• Proofs
• - Hadith Water is required after semen is
  ejaculated (Muslim)
• - Hadith Umm Sulaim said O Messenger of
  Allah! Allah is not ashamed of the truth. Does a
  woman have to perform ghusl if she has a wet
  dream? He replied Yes, if she sees any
  liquid. (Bukhari/Muslim)

3
Ghusl

• Notes
• The discharge has to be caused by desire if the
  person is awake.
• If the person is sleeping, and he finds wetness,
  he has to make ghusl anyway.
• If the discharge is due to illness or cold, the
  person is not required to perform ghusl except in
  the Shafiee school of thought.

4
Ghusl- Notes

• Aljumhoor (Majority of Scholars) say that Ghusl
  is obligatory if two conditions are there
• - The discharge is caused by desire.
• - The fluid is ejected.
• Al-mani (Semen) has three signs
• - It is ejected
• - It has the smell of eggs if it is dry, and the
  smell of clay or pollen when it is wet.
• - The body is relaxed/tired after the discharge.

5
Ghusl- Notes

• If someone had a sexual dream, but does not find
  any wetness on his clothes, then he does not have
  to make ghusl.
• If someone finds wetness on his clothes, but does
  not remember any dream, then he has to make ghusl
  if he thinks that the discharge is semen.
  (through its odour).
• - If he believes that the discharge is not
  semen, then he does not have to make ghusl and
  needs to treat it as a madhy (prostatic fluid)

6
Ghusl-Notes

• If he could not reach a conclusion, whether it is
  semen or madhy, then if he remembers a dream, he
  has to make ghusl. If he did not have any dream,
  but he thought about getting together with his
  wife before going to bed, then he has to treat it
  as a madhy.
• If none of the above happened, then he has to
  make ghusl to be in the safe side based on one
  legal opinion. Based on the second one, he does
  not have to.
• Conclusion To be in the safe side, he should
  make ghusl.

7
Ghusl

• Proofs that emission of semen due to sickness or
  cold does not require ghusl.
• The ayah And if you are in a state of
  Janaabah, purify yourselves (bathe your whole
  body). Al-maaidah6
• - Analysis The one who is in state of Janaabah
  is called Junub.
• - Junub in Arabic refers to the one who has
  emitted semen which gushes forth combined with
  feelings of pleasure.

8
Ghusl

• Gushing forth is taken from the ayah in surah
  Tariq So let the man see what he is created
  from. He is created from a water gushing forth
  At-Tariq 5-6
• 2. The hadith Allahs Messenger told Ali
  ..but if water gushes out maniy or semen, then
  do ghusl (Ahmed/Abu Dawood/Nasai and it is
  saheeh).

9
Ghusl

• Sexual intercourse, even if ejaculation does not
  take place.
• Proof
• - The hadith of Abu Huraira that the prophet
  (pbuh) said When a person sits between the
  four parts of her body and exerts himself (has
  intercourse), ghusl becomes obligatory, even if
  he does not ejaculate. (Muslim)

10
Ghusl

• When a disbeliever embraces Islam.
• Proof
• - The hadith of Qays ibn Aasim that he accepted
  Islam and the prophet (pbuh) commanded him to
  make ghusl with water and sidr.
  (Nasaai/Tirmithi/Abu Dawood). It was classified
  as sahih by Alalbaani.

11
Ghusl

• At the end of menstruation and post-childbirth
  bleeding.
• Proof
• - The hadith of Fatima bint Abi Hubaish that
  the Prophet (pbuh) told her When your menstrual
  period comes, leave prayer, and when you finish
  it, make ghusl and pray. (Bukhari 320)
• - By consensus of all learned scholars that the
  same ruling is applied to the post-childbirth
  bleeding.

12
Pillars of Ghusl

• Intention (Niyyah)
• Proof Hadith Verily, deeds are purely
  according to intentions (Bukhari/Muslim)
• Washing the whole body
• Proof Ayah nor when you are junub, unless
  you are passing by until you have made ghusl
  443
• Meaning Do not approach the salah when you are
  junub until you make ghusl which means in Arabic
  washing the whole body. Thus water should reach
  and flow over every organ.

13
How do we Perform Ghusl?

• The description of his ghusl (pbuh) is found in a
  couple of hadiths
• The hadith of Aisha that she said When
  Allahs Messenger (pbuh) made ghusl from
  janaabah, he used to begin by washing his hands,
  then he would pour water from his right hand to
  his left and wash his private parts, make the
  ablution of prayer, take some water and put his
  fingers to the roots of his hair, until he could
  see that the skin was wet, then he would pour
  water over his head three times and then over the
  rest of his body. Then he would wash his feet
  (Bukhari/Muslim).

14
How do we Perform Ghusl?

• The hadith of Maimounah , that she reported I
  placed water of the Prophet (pbuh) to take a
  bath. He poured water over his hands, and washed
  them twice or thrice. Then he poured water with
  his right hand over his left one and washed his
  private parts. He rubbed his hand over the earth
  (and washed it). He rinsed his mouth and washed
  his nose by putting water in it and blowing it
  out. He washed his face and forearms, then his
  head three times. He poured water over his body
  and withdrew from that place and washed his feet.
  I brought him a piece of cloth (towel), but he
  returned it. He (only) shook water off with his
  hand. (Agreed upon)

15
Description of the Complete Ghusl

• He intends in his heart to remove the major
  impurity.
• He says bismillah, washes his hands three
  times, washes his private parts and then clean
  his hands. (with soap if he wishes).
• He makes wudu but leaves his feet till the end.
• He pours water on his head three times and make
  sure that the skin of his head is wet.
• He washes the whole body while rubbing it with
  his hands and then he washes his feet.

16
Important Notes for Women

• When making ghusl, women do not need to undo
  their braids.
• Umm Salamah said O, Messenger of Allah
  (pbuh)! I am a woman who has closely plaited hair
  on her head. Do I have to undo it in order to
  make ghusl due to janaabah? He (pbuh) said No,
  it is enough for you to throw three handfuls of
  water over head and then pour water over
  yourself. After doing this you will be cleansed.
  (Muslim/Abu Dawood and others).

17
Important Notes for Women

• A group of scholars believe that the above
  mentioned concession is only applied to ghusl
  from Janabah, but when she makes ghusl due her
  menses which occurs only once a month, then she
  has to undo her braids and rub her head very
  well.
• Another group of scholars believe that this
  concession is applied to all types of ghusl.
• Conclusion Be on the safe side and undo your
  braids when you make ghusl after your menses are
  over.

18
Other Points of Concern

• There are two options concerning washing the
  feet, either we do them with the wudu or leave
  them till the end.
• We have to wash in between the toes.
• If semen comes out, after we finished making
  ghusl. Do we have to make another ghusl? Answer
  No, we do not have to do another ghusl, unless it
  came out gushing forth due to another desire.

19
Other Points of Concern

• If semen was about to come out, but it did not
  for whatever reason, then no ghusl is required.
• Mere touching between the two organs does not
  necessitate ghusl. Any degree of penetration,
  however, makes ghusl obligatory.

20
Other Points of Concern

• If semen is found on the clothes after he had
  already prayed and if he can not recall when it
  came out, he should make ghusl and then perform
  all the prayers due since he last went to sleep.
• If, however, it can be recalled that ejaculation
  took place even prior to the last sleep, then all
  the prayers due since then should be done again.

21
Other Points of Concern.

• It is recommended for the junub to make wudu if
  he wants to eat, drink or go to bed.
• The hadith of Aisha that the prophet (pbuh)
  would make wudu, if he wanted to eat or sleep
  while in a state of janabah (Muslim)
• 8. There is no need to make wudu after an
  obligatory ghusl. However, if the ghusl is
  desirable then one needs to do wudu after his
  bath.

22
Desirable Types of Ghusl

• It is highly recommended to make ghusl before
  going to Jumaah prayer.
• It is recommended to make ghusl after washing the
  body of a deceased person.
• Hadith Whoever washed a dead body should make
  ghusl (Ahmed/Ibn Majah and others)
• Making ghusl for Hajj and Umrah. Zaid bin Thaabit
  said that he saw the Prophet (pbuh) making ghusl
  when he intended to perform Hajj (Tirmithi)

23
Desirable Types of Ghusl

• Making ghusl upon entering the city of Makkah.
  Abdullah ibn Umar used to do it and said that the
  Prophet (pbuh) used to do it. (Muslim/Abu
  Dawood)
• Making ghusl for the two Eid Prayers. Ali bin
  Abee Talib was asked about ghusl, so he said
  Make ghusl on Fridays, on the Day of Arafa, the
  Day of Ad-adha, and the Day of Eid Alfitr
  (Albayhaqi)

24
Desirable Types of Ghusl

• Making ghusl after losing consciousness.
• Allahs Messenger (pbuh) made ghusl after he
  fainted when he was sick before joining the
  congregational prayer. This event took place
  right before he passed away. (Bukhari/Muslim)

25
Forbidden Acts for the Junub.

• A person who is junub should not, without making
  ghusl do the following
• Perform Salah
• Go around the Kabah
• Recite the Quran
• Stay in the Masjid. (He may pass by or stay in it
  if he makes wudu)
• Carry or touch the Mushaf.
