In ghusl it is sufficient to make the water reach all areas of the body
Question I have sent this question before but I still am confused as I did not get a detailed answer. I know very well that my questions may seem silly to you and do not deserve to be answered. I am suffering from whispers, and so many other people are suffering from Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)….
Question
Praise be to Allah.
Firstly:
We ask Allaah to grant you
healing and well being always in your religious and worldly affairs.
What must be done when
doing ghusl following janaabah is to make the water reach all areas of the
body, including the area between the thighs. If you stand beneath the shower
and the water reaches all parts of your body, and you rinse your mouth and
nose, then you have done ghusl.
Secondly:
It is permissible to do
wudoo’ washing each part of the body only once, but it is more perfect to
wash each part three times, as is well known.
If you only wash each part
once until you overcome this waswaas, there is nothing wrong with that in
sha Allaah, and you should seek the help of Allaah by praying to Him
(du’aa’) and asking for healing.
We ask Allaah to protect
you and make you well. And Allaah knows best.
