Some hadith s indicate that during jinabah , sperm { mani } comes out from under every hair, all bodily parts and limbs—“ min tahti kulli sha‘r ”,[^13] unlike urine which has a specific and limited passageway. And perhaps this is the reason why in ghusl the entire body must be washed. These hadith s may also be referring to the activity of the sex-related cells at the time of jinabah as they exist and are active in the entire body.

Dry purification {tayammum} If there is no water for ablution or taking a bath, or the time for ablution is limited, or the use of water is harmful to the health of the person, or the price of water is extremely exorbitant, or water is needed for drinking and saving a life, one must perform dry ablution { tayammum }.
