Question
Assalaamu alaykum,when bathing ghusl,does the water from the shower
have to flow on your rigtht and leftside body three times or it can be
done even more than three times,please advice me jazakAllahu
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that
there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammadis His
slave and Messenger.
In performing Ghusl )ritual bath(, one must make water reach all
external parts of his body, he must make water reach his scalp and
make sure that the water has reached the places which it may not
reach.Ibn Qudaamahsaid: "If he washes once and the water reaches all
of his head and body, and he did not perform ablution, then this is
sufficient for him, after rinsing his mouth and sniffing water into
his nostrils, while intending Ghusl and ablution, although he has left
what is optional ]i.e. the perfect manner of performing Ghusl[: what
we have stated here is the manner of sufficient Ghusl." ]End quote[
Therefore, it is not a condition for the validity of Ghusl to wash the
right side and left side three times but one has to pour water all
over his body whether or not this is achieved by doing so three times,
but it is disliked to pour water more than what is needed, as this is
wastefulness which is forbidden.An-Nawawisaid in his explanation of
Saheeh Muslim: "The scholars agreed that it is forbidden to be
wasteful in using water even if one is on the sea shore."
Allah Knows best.
