Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Simplified Islamic Laws for Young Adults Ghusl Sometimes for Salat and other acts that require Wudhu, a Ghusl too becomes Wajib. The method of performing Ghusl Issue 105: To perform Ghusl, the complete body, including the head and the neck must be washed. Sometimes a Ghusl becomes Wajib, for example in the case of Janabat; and sometimes it is Mustahab, such as the Ghusl on Friday (Jumu'ah).

In reality, there is no difference in the way the various Ghusls are performed; the only difference lies in the Niyyat (Intention). Issue 106: Ghusl can be performed in two ways: Tartibi (Sequential) or Irtimasi (At one time). • In Ghusl Tartibi , one starts by washing the head and the neck, and then the right half of the body is washed, followed by the left half of the body. • In Ghusl Irtimasi , the complete body is placed under water at one time.

Therefore, for Ghusl Irtimasi, the amount of water must be much so that the person is able to submerge his complete body (under the water.) Conditions necessary for the Ghusl to be correct Issue 107: All the conditions that were necessary for Wudhu[^1] to be correct are also necessary for Ghusl, except for Muwalat (not leaving a gap between the actions) - and also, it is not necessary that the body be washed from top to bottom.

Issue 108: If many Ghusls become Wajib on a person, it is allowed to perform all of them in one Ghusl, but one has to specify a Niyyat for each one. Issue 109: One who has performed Ghusl Janabat must not perform Wudhu for Salat. However, one can not offer the Salat without also performing Wudhu if any other Ghusl was done. Issue 110: In Ghusl Irtimasi, the complete body must be Tahir. However, for Ghusl Tartibi, it is not necessary that the complete body be Tahir.

Therefore, if before each part of the body is given a Ghusl, that area is washed, then it will be sufficient. Issue 111: Ghusl Jabirah is performed just as Wudhu Jabirah.[^2] Issue 112: If someone is performing a Wajib fast, then he is not allowed to perform Ghusl Irtimasi, since that person fasting is not permitted to place his complete head under water. However, if due to forgetfulness, one performs Ghusl Irtimasi, his Ghusl will be correct.

Issue 113: It is not necessary that the complete body be washed with the hands during the Ghusl, therefore, in the event that with the Niyyat of performing a Ghusl, the water reaches to all parts of the body, this will be sufficient.
