For which Purpose? Ghusl is wajib for all the things for which wudhu is required. Also, it is wajib to validate a sawm (fast), as will be explained later.
Things which are forbidden before performing Ghusl janabat: The following things are haraam if a person has to do GhusI janabat: (a) Reciting even a single verse from those Surahs in which sajdah is wajib; Touching the writing of the Qur’an or the names of Allah, the Prophets, or the Imams (in any script}: (c) Entering any mosque.
