MASNOON METHOD OF PERFORMING GHUSL

MASNOON METHOD OF PERFORMING GHUSL

First, wash both hands up to the wrists thrice.
Thereafter clean those parts of the body thrice where there is impurity of any kind.
Thereafter wash the private parts even if there is no need.
Thereafter perform wuzoo in the Masnoon manner. If the waste water is accumulating near the feet, then do not wash the feet now; wash them later. However, if the water is 

flowing away rapidly, it is permissible to wash them at this point too.
Now pour water over the head, then over the right shoulder followed by the left shoulder, (to the extent that it reaches the whole body from head to toe). Rub the body with the hands. Pour water a second time in the same manner over the head, then over the right shoulder followed by the left shoulder. (Where there is fear of a particular part of the body remaining dry, rub it with the hands causing the water to reach there. )
Thereafter pour water a third time in the same manner from head to toe. (Tirmizi)

Note 1: Both actions, i.e. to dry the body with a cloth / towel or to leave it wet, are Masnoon, so whichever of the two modes you choose, make the intention of following the Sunnat. (Mishkaat) 
Note 2: Salaat can be performed after the Ghusl. There is no need to perform fresh wuzoo, regardless of the fact that one was naked during wuzoo /Ghusl. (Tirmizi)
If the wuzoo breaks after the Ghusl, then a fresh wuzoo will be necessary.
IMPORTANT MAS’ALAH

If dough has dried up on the nail or nail polish has been applied, the water will not reach the nail; hence wuzoo and Ghusl will not be valid. Generally, there is excessive negligence in this regard.
