Ghosl
111. In Ghosl, it is obligatory to wash the face and hands (including the forearms), and to wipe the front portion of th head and the upper part of two feet.
112. The length of the face should be washed from the upper part of the forehead, where hair grow, up to the farthest end of the chin, and its peadth should be washed to the part covered between the thumb and the middle finger. If even a small part of this area is left out, Ghosl will be void. thus, in order to ensure that the prescribed part has been fully washed, one should also wash a bit of the adjacent parts.
113. If a person suspects that there is dirt or something else in the eyepows, or corners of his eyes, or on his lips, which does not permit water to reach them and that suspicion is reasonable, he should examine it before performing Ghosl, and remove any such thing if it is there.
114. If the skin of the face is visible from under the hair growing on the face, like beard, liphair etc, he should make the water reach the skin, but if it is not visible, it is sufficient to wash the hair, and it is not necessary to make the water reach beneath it.
115. While performing Ghosl, it is not obligatory that one should wash the inner parts of the nose, nor of the lips and eyes which cannot be seen when they close. however, if one is not sure that all parts have been washed, in order to ensure, it is obligatory that some portion of these parts (i.e. inner parts of nose, lips and eyes) are also included. And if a person did not know how much of the face should be washed, and does not remember whether he has washed his face thoroughly in Ghosl already performed, his prayers will be valid, and there will be no need to do fresh Ghosl for the ensuing prayers.
116. The hands and forearms, and as an obligatory precaution the face, shold be washed from above downwards, and if one washes the opposite way, his Ghosl will be void.
117. After washing the face, one should first wash the right forearm and hand and then the left forearm and hand, from the elbows to the tips of the fingers.
118. If one is not sure that the elbow has been washed thoroughly, in order to ensure, he should include some portion above the elbow in washing.
119. If before washing his face, a person has washed his hands up to the wrist, he should, while performing Ghosl, wash them again up to the tips of the fingers, and if he washes only the forearms up to the wrist, his Ghosl will be void.
120. While performing Ghosl, it is obligatory to wash the face and the hands and forearms once, and it is recommended to wash them twice. Washing them three or more times is Halal (allowed). As regads to which washing should be treated as the first, it will depend upon pouring water on the face or hand so much that it cover them thoroughly, leaving no room for precaution, with the intention of Ghosl. So, if one pours water on his face ten times, in order to cover it thoroughly, with the intention of the first washing for Ghosl, there is no harm. The first washing realises only when one washes with the intention of Ghosl. Thus, he can wash his face or hands several times, and in the final wash, make the intention of washing for Ghosl. But if he follows this procedure, the face or the hands should not be washed more than once again, as an obligatory precaution, even if without the intention of washing for Ghosl.
121. After washing both the hands and forearms, one performing Ghosl should wipe front part of the head with the wetness of his hand: and the recommended precaution is that he should wipe it with the palm of his right hand, from the upper part of the hand, downwards.
256. The part on which wiping should be performed, is the one fourth of the head posterior to the forehead it is sufficient to wipe however mucha tany place in this part of the head.
