| Q2. |
How should the
body be washed in Ghusal? |
| A2. |
Every single part of the body must be
washed. Make sure that the water reaches all parts of the body up to and
including the soles of the feet. Ensure that every strand of hair and
every pore is washed, because even if only one strand of hair or it's
point equivalent remains dry, the Ghusal will not be valid. |
| |
|
| Q3. |
What should you
do if your hair is plaited? |
| A3. |
If your hair is plaited, you are
excused from loosening your plaited hair but it is compulsory for you to
wash the base of each and every strand of hair. If you fail to do this,
then the Ghusl will not be valid. If a single strand of hair is left
dry, Ghusl will not be valid. If you are unable to wet the very bottom
of your plaited hair, then it is necessary for you to un-plait and wash
your entire hair. It is recommended to open the plaited hair before
Ghusal. |

|
| Q4. |
Are you allowed
making Ghusal while wearing rings and ear-rings? |
| A4. |
No. All finger and ear-rings should be
removed while bathing to allow water to pass onto the skin. There is
fear that water will not pass easily over these areas if you do not
remove them. |
| |
|
| Q5. |
When making
Ghusal, what is the rule if the nose is pierced? |
| A5. |
If the nose is pierced then the water
must reach the hole in which the nose-ring was as this too is also
necessary. |
| |
|
| Q6. |
Is it permissible
to make Ghusal with cutex on the nails? |
| A6. |
If any substances like cutex, flour,
paint or gum is stuck on the skin or nails, it must be removed to allow
water to pass on the skin and nails. |
| |
|
| Q7. |
When should the
hair from under the armpits be removed? |
| A7. |
One should remove all hair from under
the armpits at least once a week. One should not delay the removal of
hair for more than 40 days. The hair that is removed should be buried. |
