Elements of Shaafi Fiqh by Umar Abdul Jabbaar

There are six factors that make Ghusl obligatory. The factors are as follows:

1. To get glans (2) of male’s private part into female’s private one

2. To discharge semen

3. To occur death to a Muslim who has not been martyred

4. To experience the menstrual course

5. To flow blood after childbirth

6. To give birth to a child

The below mentioned two acts are compulsory in Ghusl:

1. To make intention when washing the first part of the body

2. To let water reach the entire body and the roots of hair

There are many Sunnah acts in Ghusl. Some of them are as follows:

1. To make Istinjaa

2. To perform Wudhoo before taking a bath

3. To rub the body

4. To begin with the right and side of the body

5. To pour water three times

6. To wash the next part of the body before the former gets dry

The factors that are conditional for the validity of Wudhoo are conditional for the validity of Ghusl as well.

The acts which are Makrooh in Wudhoo are also Makrooh in Ghusl.
