363. Ghusl for Janabat is recommended in itself and it is obligatory for offering the daily prayers and other similar acts of worship. However, it is not obligatory for Namaz-e-Mayyit or sajdatush shukr' (prostration for thanksgiving) or for the obligatory Sajdah upon reciting the four particular verses of the holy Qur'an. (Rule no. 361). Although it is recommended precaution for Namaz-e-Mayyit.
364. At the time of doing ghusl, it is not necessary to have in mind that one is performing an obligatory or recommended Ghusl. It is sufficientif one performs the Ghusl with the intention of Qurbat, i.e. complying with Allah's orders.
365. If a person who performs Ghusl with the niyyat of Wajib after having ascertained that the time of Namaz had set in, comes toknow after performing the Ghusl that it was performed before the time for prayers had set in, the Ghusl would be correct and valid.
366. There are two methods of performing Ghusls, both Wajib(obligatory) and Mustahab(recommende).
1 Tartibi (Sequential)
2 Irtimasi (By submerging the whole body).
Tartibi (sequential)
367. In this method, a person should with a niyyat(intention) for Ghusl first wash one's head and neck, and thereafter washes the right part of the body and then the left part.
And if a person, does not act accordind to this method intn tionally or forgetfully or unknowingly his Ghusl is void.
370. After the Ghusl, if a person realises that certain parts of the body have been left out, not knowing which, it will be necessary to perform the ghusl again.
Ghusl Irtimasi (by submerging the whole body)
373. in the Ghusl of Irtimasi water must reach all parts of the body at one time.therefore if he submerges with the niyyat of Ghusl, if his foot is on the ground he should pick it up.
375. If after performing Ghusl Irtimasi it becomes known that water has not reached some part of the body one should repeat the Ghusl, whether the part up to which water has not reached is determined or not.
376. If one does not have sufficient time for Tartibi, one should perform Ghusl by way of Irtimasi.
