what is Ghusl in islam,why and how do you do it?

Answer 1

Ghusl is taking a bath to PURIFY yourself from Impurities.

A Ghusl is an obligatory bath that should be done before a person intends to pray or touch the Quran.

For men:

Wet dreams, masturbation and having sex (ejaculation) will make them impure in the Islamic terminology.

For Women:

Periods and having sex will make them impure as per the Islamic terminology.

Method for Ghusl

It is the same for both men and women. Clean your body of all the impurity (semen, blood etc).

Rinse your mouth with water ONCE. (Once is obligatory, thrice is if required)

Rinse your nose with water ONCE. (Once is obligatory, thrice is if required)

Wash your entire body with water such that NOT even the space required by one hair is dry.

Thats all.

After the Ghusl you become pure and can pray.
