Precautions For Man And Woman During Ghusl

20 precautions for both men and women during Ghusl

(1) If a man's hair is braided, it is necessary for him to open the braids and wash them from the roots right to the edges. Women only need to wash the roots, it is not essential for them to open their braids. However, if the hair is braided so tightly that water cannot reach the roots then they will have to open them. (Fatawa Alamgiri, V1, P13) (2) If you have pierced your nose or ears then it is fardh to make sure that water flows through the piercing. During wudhu, water only needs to flow through the piercing of the nose but during ghusl it must flow through the piercing of both the nose and ears (3) Every single hair of the eyebrows, moustache and beard must be washed from root to tip and the skin beneath them must also be washed (4) Wash all parts of the ear and the opening of the ear canal (5) The hair behind the ears will have to be lifted in order to wash the back of the ears (6) The joint between the chin and the throat will not be washed unless you lift your head upwards (7) The arms will have to be lifted properly in order to wash the armpits (8) Wash all parts of the arms (9) Wash every single part of the entire back (10) Lift the folds of the stomach in order to wash it properly (11) Pour water in to your navel.
