Sunnah Method Of Gargling The Mouth In Ghusl

· 24 Dhuʻl-Hijjah 1443 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Must water be gargled to the back of the mouth/beginning of the throat or is it only necessary that water is swirled around in the mouth thoroughly in a Fardh Ghusl?

Answer

It is also Sunnah in Ghusl to gargle in a way that the water reaches the beginning of the

throat even though it is Fardh ghusl.
