Doubts regarding ghusal

· 16 Shawwal 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

What if I do ghusal and then also attend salaah but later I have a doubt whether the ghusal I did was valid or not. The reason being that I think the water didn't wet all the hair on my body. Should I do the ghusal again and repeat the salaah which I attended?

Answer

You do not have to repeat the namaaz. The area that you have a doubt of, just wash that area before reading the next namaaz.

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