Q&A · Purification

When is ghusl (full ritual bath) obligatory?

Ghusl becomes obligatory after sexual intercourse or the release of sexual fluid, and for women at the end of menstruation and post-natal bleeding. It involves intending purification and washing the entire body so that water reaches all of it.
