i thought id share some notes i made from islamic classes with the rest of you, hope its not something new. part 1 of 3........
Part 1:Rulings of ghusl
Hadath akhbar is either
1.janabah (wet dream, sleeping with wife, ejaculating)
2. haid – menses every month for a woman
3.nifas (bleeding after child birth – post natal bleeding)
ghusl is used to make taharah from hadath akhbar, it is bathing your entire body in a certain way.
Proof is Allah says In surah maidah “And if you are junub then purify yourselves”This was also practiced by the people of quraysh in the times of jahiliyah and was the sunnah of prophet ibrahim (as)
There are 6 things which obligate the ghusl
1. ejaculation of semen this may happen while a person is awake or asleep if he is awake and it is based upon sensation and enjoyment. If a person does not feel enjoyment such as the case with a sick person then he does not have to make ghusl. If it comes out while you are sleeping then he should make ghusl whether he enjoys it or not. If a person wakes up and does not find any traces he does not have to make ghusl.
2. if a man enters his wife then husband and wife need to make ghusl even if there was no ejaculation of semen.
3. when a kafir becomes a muslim, because the prophet (saw) commanded some of those who became muslim to perform ghusl. But is not obligatory it is mustahab (preferred)
4. death it is obligatory to wash the dead except the shaheed on the battlefield.
5. haid – menses every month for a woman.
6. nifas – post natal bleeding

thanks ... i'm still learning.
The following is from the post above:
This ghusl is taken when any one of the following occurs :
1. After sexual intercourse.
2. Nifas.
3. Haidh.
4. Emission or secretion of mani (semen).
5. Death ( except for those who have died as martyrs in the cause of Allah).
As you can see, what you stated is not mentioned above.
Ghusl is recommended in the following cases:
1. Before going to Juma'h (Friday congregational Prayer)
2. Before going to Eid Prayers (Muslim annual feast prayers).
3. Before undertaking Umrah or Hajj (Prilgrimage to Makkah).
4. Upon washing a corpse (According to many scholars, the performance of Ghusl is preferred for a person who washes a corpse) ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENT OF GHUSL
Thee are two essential requirements which need to be fulfilled for Ghusl to be valid. These are as follows:
1. Intention to perform Ghusl is necessary because it is the dividing line between acts performed as a mere custom and deeds which are rewardable acts of worship. However, the intention is only by heart and need not be uttered.
2. The entire body should be washed. Water should reach and flow freely over every part of the body.
HOW GHUSL IS PERFORMED
Besides the above two essential requirements, there are also other voluntary acts recommended for ghusl. Both the essential and the voluntary acts are not integrated here below to demonstrate how the Prophet (PBUH) used to perform the Ghusl.
(a) Intend by heart to perform Ghusl.
(b) Wash both hands up to the writs for three times.
(c) Wash the sex organs properly.
(d) Perform Wudhu as usual (in the manner already discussed) except, that the washing of the feet would be delayed until later when all the rest of the body is bathed.
(e) Pour water over the head three times, massaging the hair to allow water to reach its roots.
(f) Pour water liberally over the entire body, beginning with the right side and then the left side ensuring that no part of the body is untouched by water such as the armpits, inside the earlobes, inside the navel, between the fingers and toes, etc.
(g) Finally, move a little further from where you were and wash your feet, beginning with your right foot and then, the left.
Notes:
1. A woman will perform Ghusl just as a man does, except, that if she has plaited hair, she need not undo it. She only needs to throw three handfuls of water over her head.
2. The person may after completing the Ghusl recite the supplication for concluding Ghusl which should be recited outside the toilet/bathroom and which is the same as the one recited after completing Wudhu. ACTS FORBIDDEN TO PERSONS WHO ARE REQUIRED TO PERFORM GHUSL
Persons requiring to perform Ghusl are forbidden to undertake certain acts. These are as follows:
1. Any type of prayer whether obligatory or voluntary.
2. Circumambulating the ka'abah (Tawaf)
3. Touching or carrying the Holy Qur'an. However, the prohiibition does not apply to other books which contain Qur'anic passages such as commentaries of the Holy Qur'an or works of Islamic jurisprudence.
4. Reciting the Holy Qur'an.
5. Staying inside the Mosque.
MENSTRUATION (HAIDH) This refers to the periodical discharge of blood by women in the state of health and is easily distinguishable to women from post-childbirth bleeding.
POST CHILDBIRTH BLEEDING (NIFAS) Such bleeding usually occurs to women after childbirth and may continue without fixed duration, although in some cases, there may not occur bleeding at all. However, on the strength of the teachings of the Prophet (PBUH), a woman experiencing post-childbirth bleeding has a maximum confinement period of about forty days (40 days) after which, she is required to make Ghusl and commence her Islamic duties. If, however, the blood does not cease after 40 days, most scholars are of the opinion that the woman should continue with her regular Islamic duties. ACTS FORBIDDEN TO WOMEN EXPERIENCING MENSTRUATION AND POST CHILDBIRTH BLEEDING
1. All acts mentioned hereinbefore, as forbidden to persons requiring Ghusl are prohibited to women experiencing menstruation and post childbirth bleeding.
2. A woman cannot engage in a sexual intercourse.
The companions of the Prophet (PHBU), asked him about this and "Allah(SWT)" revealed the following Qur'anic verse: "THEY ASK THEE CONCERNING WOMEN'S COURSES. SAY: THEY ARE A HURT AND A POLLUTION: SO KEEP AWAY FROM WOMEN AN THEIR COURSES, AND DO NOT APPROACH THEM UNTIL THEY ARE CLEAN..... (Qur'an2:22)
However, all scholars are the opinion that a husband may touch any part of his wife's body above the navel and/or below the knees. This fact, is based on the confirmations of the Prophet's wives, that when the Prophet(PHBU) wished to be with them during their periods, they would put something over their private parts.
I turn 2 U ma hrt ful of Shame n ma Eyes ful of Tears.....
Salam alaikum i heard someone mention that there is a proper way to bathe and i was wondering, if anyone know if that is true and if so what is the proper method of bathing
in correct arabic it is 'hukm an-najaasaat' which means 'ruling of impurities'.
i only quoted u that website coz i know its sourcing from an authentic hadith in bulugh maram... in the chapter of purity. but im not sure about autheticity of other things it discusses there... the steps on how 2 do ghusl is definately authetni coz i read it from the book i mentioned
i dont think so, as i have never heard of it.As far as i know, there is no dua before shower( either its specific or general). The only dua that we know from the sunnah is the one, when we enter and leave the bathroom.
