The Method of Ghusl for Janabah (ritual Bath for Sexual impurity)

"My father, may Allah (swt) be pleased with him, wrote to me in his letter: 'When you intend to perform ghusl for janabah (ritual impurity due to sexual discharge), strive to urinate first so that any remaining semen in your urethra is expelled. Then wash your hands three times before placing them in the water container, even if there is no impurity on them. If you place them in the container while they are impure, then discard the water. If there is no impurity, there is no harm. If any semen has touched your body, wash it off. Then perform istinja (cleansing of the private parts) and thoroughly wash your genitals. Pour three handfuls of water over your head and separate the hair with your fingers so that the water reaches the roots of all your hair. Take the container in your hand and pour water over your head and body twice and rub your body thoroughly. Insert your fingers into your ears and ensure water reaches all parts. Every part that the water touches becomes purified, so ensure that no hair on your head or beard remains without water reaching beneath it. If someone deliberately leaves any hair unwashed during ghusl for janabah, they will be in the Fire. If someone fails to urinate after janabah or suspects that residual moisture may remain within them, it may lead to an incurable disease. If one wishes to rinse the mouth and nose during ghusl for janabah, it is permissible but not obligatory, as ghusl pertains to what is external, not internal. However, if a person wants to eat or drink before performing ghusl, they must wash their hands, rinse their mouth, and clean their nose first. If they eat or drink before doing so, it is feared they may develop leprosy.'”

Hadith.178 - It is narrated: 'Eating while in a state of janabah (ritual impurity from sexual discharge) leads to poverty.'.

Hadith.179 - Ubaydullah ibn Ali Al-Halabi said: ‘Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked whether it is appropriate for a man to sleep while in a state of janabah (ritual impurity from sexual discharge).’ Imam (as) replied: 'It is disliked (makruh) to do so without first performing wudu (ablution).'

Hadith.180 - In another narration, Imam (as) said: 'I sleep in that state (of janabah) until morning because I intend to return (to intimacy).'.

Hadith.181 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) narrates from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as): 'If a man is in a state of janabah (ritual impurity due to sexual discharge), he should not eat or drink until he performs wudu (ablution).'.

Hadith.182 - Imam (as) said: "'I dislike being in a state of janabah (ritual impurity) when the sun turns yellow (at sunset) and when it rises while it is yellow (sunrise)."

Hadith.183 - Al-Halabi said: I asked him about a man who performs ghusl (ritual bathing) without a covering (loincloth) when no one can see him. Imam (as) said: 'There is no harm in it.' 183 - وَقَالَ وَ سُئِلَ: عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُصِيبُ اَلْمَرْأَةَ فَلاَ يُنْزِلُ أَ عَلَيْهِ غُسْلٌ قَالَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ «إِذَا مَسَّ اَلْخِتَانُ اَلْخِتَانَ فَقَدْ وَجَبَ اَلْغُسْلُ.

Hadith.185 - Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) would say: 'How can ghusl (ritual bathing) not be obligatory when the Hadd (prescribed punishment) is applicable in such a case (if it is adultery)?". Imam (as) said: 'The dowry and ghusl become obligatory upon him’

Hadith.186 – (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as)) was asked about a man who engages in contact with a woman without intercourse, and he ejaculates but She does not. Is ghusl (ritual bathing) required for her? Imam (as) said: 'She is not required to perform ghusl. If he does not ejaculate, then he is also not required to perform ghusl.'

Hadith.187 – Ubaydullah ibn Ali Al-Halabi narrates that Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked about a man who performs ghusl (ritual bathing) and then later finds wetness, having urinated before performing the ghusl. Imam (as) said: 'He should perform wudu (ablution). But if he had not urinated before performing the ghusl, he should repeat the ghusl.'

Hadith.188 - It is narrated in another report (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) ) said : 'If he sees wetness and has not urinated, he should perform wudu (ablution) and not ghusl, as this is due to residual moisture (habāʾil).'

Hadith.189 – Al-Halabi narrates that Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked about a man who sleeps, then wakes up and touches his private part, finding wetness, but did not see anything in his dream. Should he perform ghusl (ritual bathing)? Imam (as) said: 'No, ghusl is only required for major discharge (al-māʾ al-akbar, i.e., semen).'.

Hadith.190 - (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) ) was asked regarding a woman who sees in her dream what a man sees (i.e., a sexual dream). Imam (as) said: 'If She has a discharge, ghusl (ritual bathing) is obligatory for her; but if She does not have a discharge, then ghusl is not required.'"

'If a person in a state of janabah (ritual impurity due to sexual discharge) immerses themselves in water all at once, that suffices for their ghusl (ritual bath).'. [AL SADUQ] If a person becomes junub (ritually impure) multiple times during a day or night, one ghusl is sufficient unless they become junub again after performing ghusl or experience a wet dream. If they have a wet dream, they should not engage in intercourse until they perform ghusl for the wet dream. There is no issue for a person in a state of janabah to recite the entire Quran, except for the verses of prostration, which are found in Surah Luqman, Surah Ha-Mim As-Sajdah (Surah Fussilat), Surah An-Najm, and Surah Al-‘Alaq A person who is junub or without wudu should not touch the Quran, but it is permissible for them to touch the paper (not the Quranic text) or to have someone else turn its pages, and they may read and mention the names of Allah (swt). A menstruating woman and a person in a state of janabah should not enter the mosque except when passing through it, and they may take something from it, but they should not leave anything in it, as they are able to leave it in other places. If a woman wishes to perform ghusl from janabah but begins menstruating, She should delay the ghusl until her menstruation ends. Then, She should perform one ghusl that covers both janabah and menstruation. There is no issue for a person in a state of janabah to dye their hair, become junub while their hair is dyed, undergo cupping, remember Allah (swt), use depilatory agents, slaughter animals, wear a ring, sleep in a mosque, pass through it, or become junub at the beginning of the night and sleep until the end of it. If a person becomes junub in a place where there is only frozen water and they cannot reach clean soil, they should perform tayammum (dry ablution) and pray, then avoid returning to a place where their faith may be jeopardized. My father, may Allah (swt) have mercy on him, wrote to me: 'There is no issue with dividing the ghusl. Wash your hands, private parts, and head, and delay washing the rest of your body until the time of prayer, at which point you wash your body. However, if you have any hadath (ritual impurity, such as urination or defecation) after washing your head but before washing your body, repeat the ghusl from the beginning. If you begin washing your body before your head, repeat the ghusl for your body after washing your head.'
