Method of Ghusl (Hanafi)
Alhumdulillaahi Rabbil Alameen, Wassalatu assalamu alaika YA Syedil mursaleen, Ammaa Baaad Fa' Azu billaahi minash shaitwaa nirra jeem, Bismillaa hirrah maa nirrah heem. Assalat O Wassalam O Alaika Ya Rasool ALLAH Assalat O Wassalam O Alaika Ya Habeeb ALLAH Assalat O Wassalam O Alaika Ya Nabi ALLAH Assalat O Wassalam O Alaika Ya Noor ALLAH waAla Alika wa Ashabika ya Rehmata lil Aalameen! Method of Ghusl (Hanafi) Without pronouncing anything verbally, make an intention in your heart to perform ghusl ('I am performing ghusl in order to purify myself'). First wash both hands up to your wrists 3 times, and then wash the private parts (regardless of whether or not you can see any impurity). Then wash any impurity off your body (if any). Perform wudhu the way you would for salaah but do not wash your feet (unless you are standing on something elevated, like a stool). Rub water on the whole of your body like oil, especially in winter (this is when you can rub soap over your body). Pour water three times over your right shoulder, then three times over the left, and then the same number of times over your head and the rest of the entire body. After doing this, step aside from where you were standing and if you did not wash your feet during wudhu, wash them now. Do not face the Holy Ka'ba whilst performing ghusl. Rub your hands all over your body whilst washing. Make sure that no one can see you while you are performing ghusl. If this is not possible then men should cover their private areas (navel to knees) with a thick piece of cloth. If something thick is not available then two or three layers of thin cloth should be wrapped around the body, because a thin piece of cloth will stick to the body when wet, Allah ``` forbid, allowing the colour of the thighs or knees to be visible. Women should be extra cautious whilst performing ghusl. Whilst performing ghusl you must not talk or even read a Dua. There is no harm in drying yourself with a towel once you have finished. Get dressed immediately after performing ghusl. It is desirable to read 2 rak'at nafl salaah considering it is not Makrooh to do so at that particular time. (Well Known books of Hanafi Jurisprudence)
