Gargling one's mouth after ghusal with drinkable water

· 19 Rabiʻ II 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Tap water that comes in my house is not clean. So when I perform ghusal, I don't gargle. Instead, after doing ghusal I gargle with clean water. Is my ghusal valid?

Answer

If the water used to perform ghusal is not good for drinking purposes but is paak, the ghusal will be valid provided you rinse your mouth and insert water in your nose after the ghusal.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
