Question

What is the proper way of performing
ghusl after menstruation has ended?I have been taught by elders to have a clean bath, then perform wudu
then read the kalma 7 times on water & pour the water on yourself beginning
from your head, then shoulders, then legs and then the genitals. Similarly then to read 7
Aayah’s, the Darud & the Aayat-ul-kursi on water & pour on ourselves as
explained above. Do I have to perform these steps? I would appreciate your guidance in
this regard.

Praise be to Allah.

This is an innovated method (bid’ah) for which Allaah has revealed
no authority [i.e., it has no basis in Islam]. In order to follow the Sunnah, it is
sufficient for you to do wudoo’, then make sure that water reaches every part of the
head and body. We ask Allaah to grant you beneficial knowledge and to keep you safe from
ignorance and bid’ah (innovation).
