Correct way of Taking Bath (Ghusal)

The correct and particular way of taking the bath is: First of all make intention or niyyah in the heart for taking bath. Then wash hands up to the wrists, then wash the private parts of the body (perform intinja). Then remove the major uncleanliness, if any, from the body. Then perform the ablution according to Islamic law but do not wash the feet but if you sit on any stool then you should wash the feet. Then pour water on the whole body and you can also use soap for washing your body. Then you pour water on the right shoulder three times and then pour water on the left shoulder three times. Then pour water on the head and on the whole body. Then wash your feet if you do not wash earlier.

You should not face Qiblah during bath and choose the place where no one can see you. If you choose the close wash room then it is good for you but if it is not possible then the male should hide private parts of his body with thick cloth so that the colour of the hidden parts should not be visible. During bath do not talk to anyone or recite any verse. Soon after completion of bath, you should wear the clothes.
