Editing Ghusl (section)

===''Ghusl'' tartibih===

"''Ghusl tartibi''" means an ordinal bath, performed in three stages.

After washing away the ''najasat'' (e.g., semen or blood) from the body and after ''niyyat'', the body has to be washed in three stages: head down to the neck; then the right side of the body from the shoulder down to the foot; then the left side of the body.

Each part should be washed thoroughly in such a way that the water reaches the skin. Special care should be taken while washing the head; the hair should be combed (e.g., with your fingers) so that water reaches the hair-roots. While washing the right side of the body, some part of the left side must be washed too, and vice versa.<ref name="najaf"/>
