It is better not to recite even a single verse from these chapters. Entering or staying in the mosque. The Qur’an says, “O you who believe! ... Nor (are you allowed to enter the masjid) if you are junub until you have washed yourself except passing through.” (Surah an-Nisaa’, 4:43) . Based on this verse and relevant ahadith, the mujtahids have concluded that a junub is totally forbidden from staying in the mosque.

Of course, as the verse says, one can pass through the mosques (by entering from one door and leaving from the other). However, this exception of passing through does not apply to the following places: the Masjidu’l-Haraam (the Sacred Mosque at Mecca) Masjidu’n-Nabi (the Mosque of the Prophet (S) at Medina), and shrines of the Imams (A.S.). A junub cannot even pass through them. 4. Leaving something in or taking it out from a mosque.

Manner of Performing Ghusl Ghusl is a ritual bath; it involves washing of the whole body. There are two methods of performing ghusl . One is known as ghusl tartibi , and the other is known as ghusl irtimasi . Ghusl Tartibi: “ Ghusl tartibi ” means an ordinal bath, performed in three stages.

After washing away the najasat (e.g., semen or blood) from the body and after niyyat , the body has to be washed in three stages: First, head down to the neck; then the right side of the body from the shoulder down to the foot; and lastly, the left side of the body. Each part should be washed thoroughly in such a way that the water reaches the skin. Special care should be taken while washing the head; the hair should be combed (e.g., with your fingers) so that water reaches the hair-roots.

While washing the right side of the body, some part of the left side must be washed too, and also, while washing the left side of the body, some part of the right side must be washed.
