Which Body Parts To Wash During Ghusal
One should have this bath in a thorough and complete manner. The Quranic words اِطَّهَرُوا (ittaharu) and اِغْتَسِلوُا (ightasilu) testify to this ( Discussion 30957 • Reply 30977 ). However, we can take further guidance from Uswa of the Prophet (sws) how he used to perform Ghusal. But from a legal standpoint, what is thorough and complete has been left to the person, the rest is a matter of fiqh, not religion. If the water is reaching properly to the feet, then the objective of directive has been achieved.
