Ritual purity is one of the prerequisites for performing prayer. Therefore, the prescribed mandatory elements of ablution should be known to every Muslim and Muslim. There is complete and small ablution.
Full ablution
Full ablution is called - ghusl. This is the process of pouring water over the entire surface of the body. A woman is required to complete ablution after the cessation of menstruation or postpartum hemorrhage, as well as after intimacy.
The procedure for performing a full ablution:
- To commit (niyat) the intention with the words: "I intend to make a complete ablution for the satisfaction of Allah Almighty."
- Before undressing, one must pronounce the words: "Bismillah" (With the name of Allah). Since a naked person can not say a prayer and it is undesirable to talk.
- First of all, you need to wash your hands.
- Wash, wash shameful places, remove all impurities from the body.
- Take a small bath without washing only the feet.
- Pour water over the body three times, starting from the head and moving to the right shoulder, then to the left, wash the entire body, last but not least the legs.
In the case when the hair is braided in braids, a woman is not obliged to unwind it, if nothing prevents the access of water to the hair roots. That is, you do not need to dissolve the hair, water should get to the roots of the hair, but not necessarily the hair.
Complete ablution is considered valid if a person rinsed his mouth, washed his nose and washed his entire body. That is, you must perform three required actions.
