Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most
Merciful.
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of
the worlds.
And peace and blessings be upon the most
honored of the prophets and messengers, our Prophet
Muhammad and his family and companions.
Today, inshallah, we're going to be speaking about
the fiqh of ghusl.
And ghusl is using water to wash the
whole body in a specific manner.
And ghusl is required for a number of
things that a person may have to do,
such as a person performing salah and other
than that.
And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in the
Quran, He speaks about a person performing ghusl
from janabah, which is one of the things
which requires ghusl.
When Allah says, وَإِن كُنْتُمْ جُنُوبًا فَاتَّهَرُوا That
if you are in a state of janabah,
then purify yourselves, meaning perform ghusl.
So ghusl is something which can be obligatory
in specific circumstances, and it also can be
recommended in other circumstances.
And inshallah, today we're going to be speaking
about those things Ghusl is when a person
ejaculates * from the private part, whether it's
a male or a female, this would require,
or specifically * from the male *, anything
which comes out after *, it's called many
in the Arabic language, and any kind of
fluid which comes out of the male when
he climaxes, likewise fluid which comes out of
the female when she climaxes also.
In Arabic it's called many.
So this fluid which comes out at the
point of climax, when a person is feeling
that desire, then it's known as many.
And many has specific attributes.
How can a person tell if it's many
that comes out, because if this substance comes
out of the body, if this sperm comes
out of the body, then of course a
person has to perform ghusl.
So they say it has a distinct smell,
and they say it's a thick white fluid.
It's a thick white fluid.
And they also say that this fluid, when
it comes out, it comes out with force.
It comes out with force.
It doesn't slowly secrete out of the body.
Because when a person is in a state
of climax and he ejaculates, it comes out
with force.
It doesn't come out secreting out of the
body in a slow fashion.
It comes out quickly.
So those are the ways we can recognize
if many has left the body, if it's
come out of the private part.
Of course for the female it's different.
So it's more watery, and it's more yellow
in color, as opposed to the male secretion
which comes out.
So this substance, when it comes out of
the body, it requires for a person to
perform ghusl.
And of course it can happen as a
result of a person feeling that desire, and
then climaxing as a result of that desire
when he's with one's spouse.
Or it can be as a result of
*, which scholars deem haram and some say
it's disliked.
So it could happen in those circumstances.
It could also happen while a person is
awake.
And it can also happen while a person
is asleep.
It could happen when a person is awake,
and it could happen while a person is
asleep.
And the Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa sallam, he
mentioned many, and he said that narrations mentioning
the Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa sallam, advising people
to perform ghusl, or commanding people to perform
ghusl, because of course it's obligatory, and there
are examples of the Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa
sallam, himself performing ghusl in a state of
janabah.
So when he was in this state of
having this come out of the body, it's
called janabah, when you're in a state of
janabah, then you're required to perform ghusl.
So it happens when you're awake and when
you're asleep.
When you're awake, when one's with a spouse,
or via another method, if it comes out,
not with force, and it secretes out of
the body, then the scholars, they say, it
doesn't require ghusl, because the characteristics of how
it comes out have not been met.
And sometimes it can secrete out of the
body.
The very same fluid, it's possible for it
to secrete out of the body and not
to come out with force.
And there are narrations, for example, of some
of the companions, Umar ibn Khattab, radiyallahu anhu,
where out of exhaustion and tiredness, it would
come out of the body.
Many would come out of the body.
And the Prophet ﷺ didn't command him to
perform ghusl as a result of this.
And likewise, in certain circumstances when a person's
sick, it can also come out of the
body.
And again, it's not coming out as a
result of desire, as a result of a
person climaxing, it's happening as a result of
sickness.
And likewise, if it comes out as a
result of sickness, then it's not something which
requires ghusl.
It's not something which requires ghusl.
Because the manner in which it has come
out of the body, it hasn't been met.
The way in which it's supposed to come
out for you to do ghusl, that manner
in which it's supposed to come out hasn't
been met, so you don't have to perform
ghusl in those circumstances.
We also said that a person can be
in that state of janabah as a result
of money coming out of the body when
he's awake, but also when he's sleeping.
Also when he's sleeping.
When does money come out of the body
when a person's sleeping?
Wet dreams.
Ihtilam in the Arabic language, ihtilam.
So when a person has wet dreams, and
of course wet dreams are a sign of
puberty and it can also happen after puberty.
It's something which is possible.
When a person has wet dreams, then money
comes out of the body because a person,
as a result of wet dreams and desire,
it can come out of the body.
In that situation also, he has to perform
ghusl.
So if he's asleep and there's a wet
dream, as a result of the *,
he has to perform ghusl.
If a person wakes up in the morning
and notices some wetness, what does he do?
Okay?
Okay?
Let's say there's three circumstances then.
Three circumstances.
In this situation, there's three things that could
be the case.
Number one, he knows for a fact that
it's money.
He knows for a fact it's money.
How?
Maybe because of the desire he felt.
He remembers.
As a result of this, he knows it's
money which is not money.
He knows for a fact it's not money.
Like the brother said, because of the qualities,
the urine that has come out of the
body, he knows it's not money, it's something
else.
A person may have bladder issues, whatever the
case may be, somebody who's older, or he
may have some kind of illness, and then
urine comes out of the body as opposed
to it being money, for example.
And he's aware of this.
He knows that it's not money for a
fact.
Then, of course, he doesn't have to perform
ghusl, but of course he has to make
sure he cleans himself appropriately before salah, and
of course he has to perform wudhu, but
ghusl is an obligatory for him in this
situation.
And the third circumstance is when he doesn't
know.
So there's no sign of anything.
Like there's wetness, but there's no characteristics that
he could see or observe in order for
him to establish that it's one or the
other.
It could be as a result of being
very hot during the night, and he could
be sweating, it could be moisture down there,
it could be money, it could be urine,
it could be anything.
He could have spilled some water there.
It could be anything.
So in this situation, what does he do?
Of course, there is no confirmation of him
having had money come out of the body,
so in this situation, ghusl isn't obligatory for
him.
Ghusl isn't obligatory for him because he hasn't
established that money has actually come out of
the body.
The first thing which invalidates, the first thing
which requires for him to do ghusl is
money coming out of the body.
The substance that we've mentioned, it could be
the male, it could be the female.
When it comes out of the body, it's
a requirement now for him to perform ghusl.
Number two, the second thing which would require
him to perform ghusl is when the two
private parts meet so when the person is
with the spouse and the private part meets
of both parties, of both spouses, then this
situation would require for the both of them
to perform ghusl.
It would require for the both of them
to perform ghusl.
The Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said
that when a man sits between the four
parts of his wife's body and the two
circumcised parts of the body meet, *,
even if nothing specific comes out of the
body, comes out of the private parts.
Simply the fact that the two private parts
have met, that requires for them to perform
ghusl.
So ghusl becomes obligatory in that specific situation
based on this narration.
So that's number two.
That's the second reason or second means by
a woman specifically to perform ghusl.
So when a woman finishes her monthly cycle,
then before she can perform salat she has
to perform ghusl.
Before she performs salat she has to perform
ghusl.
And number four is once a woman has
recovered after giving birth.
So once she has recovered from being postpartum
after she's given birth and the bleeding has
stopped, then before she can pray because she's
struggling, it's difficult for her and she may
still be bleeding.
It could be days, it could be weeks.
Once she recovers and the bleeding stops, before
she can pray she has to perform ghusl.
With the exception of that bleeding not stopping
after 40 days.
If it's over 40 days then she prays.
She does ghusl and she prays.
It's over 40 days that she can go
without praying.
If she's bleeding after 40 days then prayer
has become obligatory upon her because it's exceeded
the 40 day amount.
Prior to that of course she doesn't have
to pray.
If it goes over 40 days she does
ghusl and she prays.
So over 40 days she has to pray
even if she's still bleeding.
But of course before that then she performs
ghusl before praying.
So those are number 3 and number 4.
And the Prophet ﷺ he would mention in
a hadith in Bukhari narrated by Aisha r
.a. He would say to Aisha r.a.
give up the prayers, stop the prayers when
your cycle begins and when it finishes take
a bath and then start praying.
So you have explicit hadith here.
Explicit narrations which speak about when a person
should start praying or when a person or
a woman specifically should stop praying depending on
the circumstances of her monthly cycle and when
it begins and when it ends etc.
Number 5 from the things which require a
person to perform ghusl is death.
What do you mean by death?
How does death make a person perform ghusl?
Very good, excellent.
So if a person dies you have to
wash and shroud the body before burying the
body.
So ghusl for that individual becomes an obligation.
Ghusl for that person becomes an obligation and
there are a number of hadith which speak
about this.
The Prophet ﷺ who was washing his daughter
who passed away he said wash her 3
times or 5 times or more than this.
Hadith Bukhari Muslim.
So it's a command from the Prophet ﷺ
and of course other narrations speak about this
tradition and this obligation of washing the body
when a person has passed away.
So these are the moments and the times
when a person is obligated to perform ghusl.
So a person, number 2 when the private
parts meet number 3 when a woman is
off her menstrual cycle number 4 when a
person has recovered from her postpartum circumstance and
her postpartum situation and number 5 death.
When a person dies ghusl has to be
performed on the body of the Muslim who
passes away.
Regardless of his circumstances whether he is washed
specifically related to the dead person but every
single Muslim who dies it's an obligation and
it is right for his body to be
washed and shrouded and prayed over.
Every Muslim.
Whether he's a righteous person or he's not
a righteous person.
If he's a Muslim if he was a
Muslim and he claimed to be a Muslim
and he was known to be a Muslim
it's something which is his right as a
Muslim.
So these are the circumstances when it's required
and when it's an obligation for a person
to perform ghusl.
Now how is ghusl done?
How is ghusl done?
There are two ways in which a person
can perform ghusl that the scholars mentioned.
The first is a complete ghusl or the
ghusl which is you could say more in
line with the sunnah of the Prophet on
whom peace be upon him.
So it's more specific in its manner.
You have the complete ghusl and then the
other one is the accepted ghusl.
Meaning the ghusl is done but you have
the more complete ghusl which is more specific
in terms of its description.
So what is this complete ghusl?
First of all when a person performs ghusl
he makes intention of course that's for either
of the ghusls whether it's a complete one
or the suffice one the sufficient ghusl regardless
he has to make the intention so you
make the intention to perform ghusl and then
with regards to this in the heart and
then you perform wudhu so wudhu is part
of ghusl.
So a person performs wudhu and before he
performs wudhu of course he washes his hands
just like in wudhu you wash your hands
at the beginning before you perform wudhu likewise
you wash your hands before performing wudhu and
then you perform wudhu and the Prophet it's
said that sometimes he would wash his feet
and sometimes he would delay washing the feet
and leave it until the end sometimes he
would wash his feet after doing wudhu of
course because it's the last thing you do
and sometimes he would delay the washing of
the feet until the end so a person
performs wudhu so he makes intention he washes
says bismillah washes his hands and performs wudhu
and then he pours water over his head
three times pours water over his head three
times making sure it reaches the roots of
the of the head and then he washes
the rest of the body and it's encouraged
to start with the right side it's encouraged
to start with the right side so of
course intention is with every single act of
worship you have to make intention and then
you say bismillah because it's sunnah to say
bismillah before doing anything and you start with
the specific acts and then after the specific
acts you start with the more general so
you do wudhu after you perform wudhu you
wash your feet it can either be done
after the wudhu itself at the end of
the wudhu or it can be done after
that then a person pours water over his
head until it reaches the roots then a
person pours water over the rest of his
body and he starts with the right side
and then washes the rest of the body
and washes the private parts also that's also
included with the rest of the body he
washes the private parts as well and of
course he has to make sure the water
reaches all parts of the body he has
to make sure the water reaches all parts
of the body so this is the manner
in which a complete ghusl is done the
suffice ghusl the ghusl which is sufficient the
second type of ghusl what would that be
of course you make tension and then you
basically make sure that the whole body is
washed with water that the whole body is
washed with water so this if a person
did this for whatever reason okay maybe he's
in a rush or tired whatever the case
may be if a person does this ghusl
okay the sufficient ghusl where he just goes
into the bath and he just washes his
whole body okay without having washed his hands
and without having done wudhu and without washing
the right side first etc his ghusl is
still valid his ghusl is still valid like
we said with wudhu you know certain things
from the sunnah of wudhu okay if a
person doesn't do them technically his wudhu is
still valid but of course when a person
follows the sunnah and he does those things
from the sunnah then of course of course
there's more reward when a person makes more
effort in following the suffice ghusl would be
a person washing the whole body and also
some of the scholars they mentioned doing madmada
and istinshaq so of course in wudhu we
rinse the mouth we rinse the nose some
of the scholars they also say you must
wash the mouth and rinse the nose if
a person doesn't do this inshallah the ghusl
is still valid but the scholars say it's
better to be on the safe side and
wash and rinse the mouth and the nose
also when he's performing ghusl just to get
out of the khilaf to get out of
the issue of you know risk of the
person's ghusl not being maybe not being accepted
so that's with regards to that's with regards
to how the ghusl is actually done that's
with regards to how the ghusl is done
now a few things with regards to a
person's intention let's say for example a person
made the intention for ghusl but not
from janabah not because he was with his
spouse or because something came out of the
private part let's say he just wanted to
do ghusl maybe it's friday and so he
wants to perform ghusl because he's going for
salah for jumah and so he performs ghusl
that was his intention his intention wasn't to
clean himself and purify himself from janabah what
happens in this situation does it suffice for
both does that one intention cover both the
scholars say it does the scholars say it
does so a person was in the state
of janabah on friday morning and he was
planning on obviously performing ghusl because he's going
to go for jumah salah and so he
performs ghusl with that intention in mind because
it's friday okay and he didn't really have
the intention of it purifying himself from janabah
it suffices for both the ghusl would suffice
for both it covers both so a person
doesn't have to do ghusl again another intention
the person doesn't have to do ghusl again
also if a person made the intention let's
say he didn't have wudu for example and
then he was with his spouse for example
and then he performed the ghusl and his
intention was to purify himself from major impurity
not minor impurity what's minor impurity when a
person has to perform wudu major impurity when
you have to perform ghusl so this person
he never had wudu and then he was
with his spouse he was intimate with his
spouse and now he has to perform ghusl
so now he didn't have wudu and also
now he has to do ghusl so when
he ghusl because he was in a state
of janabah does it suffice for minor impurity
also yes it does it covers both so
meaning he doesn't have to separately now go
into wudu the scholars they also say well
if he's doing ghusl for janabah then in
that ghusl he's doing wudu he's doing the
full ghusl then he's doing wudu in that
ghusl in the first place so the act
of wudu is being done in the ghusl
and if a person is doing the sufficient
ghusl then again it suffices it's it covers
both it covers major impurity and it covers
also minor impurity so if a person does
ghusl and he never had wudu can he
pray after performing ghusl from janabah for example
yes he can you can pray even if
you never specifically did wudu because you did
ghusl for major impurity which takes the place
of minor impurity even if you didn't do
wudu in that ghusl itself because it covers
it covers both based on what the scholars
mentioned so that's with regards to a person's
intention that's with regards to a person's intention
and with regards to a person performing ghusl
like we said if those signs aren't there
for example the * and the money coming
out of the body then there is no
need for him to perform ghusl it has
to be established first that it has come
out of the body and that again goes
back to the principle that we mentioned before
that certainty isn't removed by doubt so with
that we've concluded the chapter on ghusl any
questions before we finish any questions anybody have
any questions one yeah
so there are certain circumstances in certain situations
where wudhu is recommended and it's not compulsory
from them is the person who accepts islam
and the scholars differed with regards to the
one who accepts islam does he have to
perform ghusl does he not have to perform
ghusl some of the scholars they said he
has to perform ghusl it's Allah knows best
but it seems like the one who becomes
a muslim is not compulsory for him to
perform ghusl but again the scholars say in
order to avoid this issue of differences amongst
the scholars it's better for him to perform
ghusl so it wouldn't become an obligation there
are narrations of the prophet commanding a couple
of the companions when they became muslim to
perform ghusl and that's what's used as evidence
to where the prophet commands people to perform
ghusl from janabah and from the other things
that we've mentioned whereas this specific issue of
the new muslim there's no general hadith that's
what the scholars say but these are specific
circumstances of course there are many examples of
people becoming muslim the famous story so many
people who became muslim but there are no
narrations of those companions the ten promised jannah
the other famous companions in their stories of
when they became muslim of them performing ghusl
so scholars mentioned this that this shows it's
not something which is compulsory they say it's
something which is recommended and in order for
a person to avoid the khilaf a person
should highly encourage the new muslim to perform
ghusl also what's the wisdom behind performing ghusl
for the new muslim why
would they need to do ghusl to remove
but the shahada removes sins anyway so when
you make the shahada and you become a
muslim allah removes all your sins are forgiven
they don't have to do wudu that was
before they became muslim the scholars they say
just as he's purified himself spiritually because now
he's become muslim he's purified himself inwardly likewise
he should purify himself outwardly by performing ghusl
they say that's from the wisdom of a
new muslim performing ghusl so with the issue
of the new muslim it seems like allah
knows best that it's something which is recommended
not something which is not something which is
an obligation yes brother yeah
that would also be permissible yeah that would
be permissible yeah so again that's another thing
there are certain circumstances when it's encouraged for
a person to perform ghusl the friday prayer
so before the juma'ah salah it's encouraged
when else is it encouraged for a person
to perform ghusl eid eid al fitr eid
al adha it's recommended so it's not an
obligation but it's recommended for a person to
perform ghusl prior to that also interestingly the
one who's washing the dead body the one
who's washing the dead body it's recommended for
them for themselves to perform ghusl not compulsory
but it's recommended why there are narrations which
mention the companions they would perform ghusl some
of the companions did perform ghusl and so
they say it's not something which is compulsory
but some of the scholars they say that
when you're in contact with a dead body
the person who's washing the body and in
contact with that dead body it brings about
a type of weakness a type of weakness
in the body as a result of being
in touch with a body void of any
soul subhanallah and so they say it's encouraged
for that person to perform ghusl to rejuvenate
himself so yeah a person when he's performed
ghusl on a body either
he knows it's secretion from the as a
result of * because of desire then he
has to perform ghusl he knows it's not
that for sure that it's something else might
be water it might be something impure like
urine or whatever the case may be then
he doesn't have to perform ghusl if he's
not sure then again he doesn't have to
perform ghusl but if he knows it's many
then he performs ghusl if he knows it's
not many then he doesn't perform ghusl and
if he's not sure again he doesn't perform
ghusl if
you can yeah if it's possible because we
say it's recommended so if he's able to
do it that's fine yeah so so again
from the rights of the person who dies
is that his body should be washed and
a person does whatever he can to wash
the body so for example back in the
COVID days if a person died the people
washing the body they would take precautions as
if the body was you know seriously contaminated
with some kind of serious disease that was
contagious you would wear whatever you can to
protect yourself you know like a I don't
know hazmat suit or something similar that covers
the whole body where you're protected and then
you wash the body if for example the
body is damaged and you're worried that you're
applying water to the body is going to
cause more damage to the body then you
do whatever you can so you can take
a damp cloth or sponge and you can
just you know gently apply water to the
body so but you do whatever you can
to try to wash the body of the
deceased regardless of the circumstances of the body
itself because again it's the right of the
body no you don't need
to that
would that would count that would be valid
as a form of ghusl with the intention
of course any other questions?
okay inshallah so with that we'll conclude and
we'll continue some few there's a few questions
here before I forget if the person is
making ghusl but not in the state of
Jinaba but they make the second type of
ghusl without making wudhu do they still need
to make wudhu separately?
no you don't need to make wudhu separately
so if you do ghusl you don't have
to make wudhu separately that ghusl also counts
as your wudhu basically even if you don't
do wudhu in that ghusl itself like we
said so a sufficient ghusl where you just
wash the whole body would count and then
you can pray without having to do wudhu
when discussing postpartum you mentioned when the woman
recovered from postpartum circumstances when you write
questions down brothers and sisters try to write
it down clearly and concisely because some of
these questions I don't I don't understand what
they what they mean in regards to pouring
water over your head does stepping in and
out of the shower suffice?
or must it be with a bucket?
of course you can use a shower you
can use a bucket any means by which
the water is applied to the body it
doesn't matter how the water is applied as
long as the water reaches the whole body
for a complete ghusl can you do it
in this order washing the hands washing the
private parts doing wudhu washing the hair etc
that's fine as well does touching a dead
body mean you have to perform ghusl?
again we said it's recommended for a person
to perform ghusl for salah yes so she
doesn't have to do wudhu because the ghusl
takes the place of the wudhu itself will
the washing of the private part nullify the
wudhu?
we mentioned this we said touching the private
parts washing the private part which is istinja
if you are doing istinja then it would
invalidate the wudhu because you've just been to
the bathroom you've just been to the toiletacreamakumullahu
so if you've been to the toilet and
you're washing the private parts and of course
it nullifies the wudhu if a person touches
the private parts with desire then it nullifies
the wudhu if a person touches the private
parts without desire then it won't nullify the
wudhu and Allah knows best Washing the hands
and washing the private parts.
If you wash a body, do you need
to do ghusl again?
We answered this already.
How do you wash a dead body?
So the manner in which you wash the
dead body is the same as the manner
in which you wash a body in ghusl.
It's the same way, the same technique, the
same method is applied.
Unless of course, as we mentioned, there are
things wrong with the body, the body is
highly damaged, okay, it's very sensitive to anything
that may be applied to it from water,
etc.
Then in those situations you do whatever you
can.
There's 40 days postpartum begin on the day
a woman gives birth or the day after,
so as soon as the woman gives birth,
that's when postpartum starts.
So that's when the 40 days will start,
inshallah.
Okay, inshallah, so with this we'll conclude.
Jazakumullahu khair.
Subhanakallahumma bihamdika shadu wa la ilaha illa anta
astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayku wa salamu alaikum wa
rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.
