Washing In A Natural Way During Wudu And Ghusl
JazakAllah Mr. Umer Qureshi! 1) So again, this maximum is just for wudu, correct? And this means there is no maximum set for rinsing the mouth/nose during ghusl whatsoever? 2) What if I am doing this intentionally? Even then it won’t affect my wuzu/ghusl? 3) Just to confirm, no issue to use soap for both wuzu and ghusl, correct? 4) Yes, I’ve been making an effort to avoid all such websites/videos. I overloaded myself with their content around September/October, as you can probably see in my threads even up until now.
Asalamualaikum Mr. Umer Qureshi, Another thing that I want to discuss with you is the nature of water changing during wudu and ghusl. I think I once saw a scholar write that it’s okay if water mixes with a little bit of mucus on the face during wudu, as the nature of water does not change significantly. However, it is implied that one’s face should not have too much mucus so as to not impact the nature of water significantly. Is this even something I need to take account of? In other words, does it even matter if the nature of water is changing as it comes into contact with my body? And so, I don’t need to take caution with regards to how much mucus is on my face, or how much lotion or vaseline I apply onto my body? I wonder if this is a purely fiqhi idea. JazakAllah
Mr. Umer Qureshi, 1.) I noticed that I tend to spend a lot of time washing my face during wudu, whereas washing other body parts does not take as long and is not as difficult. Do you have any advice? And can one trust their instinct in wudu/ghusl with regards to water reaching a part of the body based on their experience in washing. This is easier than checking! 2.) When performing wudu, is there any issue with tending to a body part that is not meant to be washed at that time. For example, I am washing my arms according to the step on wudu, but realize that there is some dirt I want to remove from my face. Is there any issue with going back to remove the dirt from my face? 3.) For the nose, you said that it’s usually just a doubt that water did not enter both nostrils. So should a person ignore such doubts in general unless they are certain that water did not enter both nostrils? And I mean for a person who normally does not have doubts. And in ghusl, for example, I make water reach my entire body. But I rinse my mouth and nose normally, which means that my goal is not to make water reach them entirely. Am I still appropriate rinsing my mouth and nose in spite of this? JazakAllah
And regarding 1), does this mean that if I wash my face thoroughly, then it does not matter if water is reaching those extremities (e.g., near hairline, ear, etc.)? As in, I don’t need to make an effort to do that either. Because I don’t feel that most people focus on that when washing their face under normal circumstances when not performing wudu.
