Gargling the mouth in ghusal

· 1 Rabiʻ I 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Do you have to gargle in fard ghusl or can you just move water around in your mouth like in wuduh?

Answer

If the water has covered the entire mouth then this is also sufficient.

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