Because that is what I will explain in this article. As Muslims, we must understand that. That's why I wrote this article. So, you should read it to the end!

Specifically, there are some important things about ghusl after period step by step which I will explain in this article. Some of the important things about I mean are as follows:

Should You Do Ghusl After Period?

The first important thing about ghusl after period step by step what I will explain now is "should you do ghusl after period?". I want you to understand that because it is one of the important questions about period that must be well understood.

One important thing that you must understand is that period is one of the things that causes Muslim women to be impure or have a major hadas. In Islam, if Muslims have a major hadas, then they are not allowed to perform worship that requires them to be in a holy condition, such as prayer, tawaf, and so on. In fact, in some cases, women who have not performed ghusl after period are prohibited from entering the mosque.

In Islam, the most important way to eliminate major hadas is ghusl janabah. If the Muslims cannot do that, then they have to do tayammum.

We can find this explanation in the following hadiths:

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ : قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنِّيْ لَا أُحِلُّ الْمَسْجِدَ لِحَائِضٍ وَلَا جُنُبٍ . رَوَاهُ أَبُوْ دَاوُدَ

From Aisha radliyallaahu anhaa, she said, "The Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam has said, "Indeed I do not allow women who are menstruating and people who are junub to stay in the mosque." This hadith was narrated by Abu Dawud.

عَنْ أَبِيْ سَعِيْدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : أَلَيْسَ إِذَا حَاضَتْ لَمْ تُصَلِّ وَلَمْ تَصُمْ

From Abu Sa'id al-Khudri radliyallahu anhu from the Prophet (Muhammad) sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam, he said, "Isn't if she is menstruating then she does not pray and does not fast."

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهَا قَالَتْ ؛ لَمَّا جِئْنَا سَرِفْ حِضْتُ . فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : اِفْعَلِيْ مَا يَفْعَلُ الْحَاجُّ غَيْرَ أَنْ لَا تَطُوْفِيْ فِيْ الْبَيْتِ حَتَّى تَطْهُرِي . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ

From Aisah radliyallaahu Taala anhaa, she said, “When we arrived at Sarif, I was on my period. The Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam then said, "Do something that is usually done by people who perform Hajj, but you do not perform tawaf in the Baitul Haram until you are pure." This hadith was narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim.

That is the main reason why Muslim women must perform ghusl after period. We can find an explanation of that in the hadiths and Quranic verses below:

قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِذَا أقْبَلَتِ الحَيْضَةُ، فَدَعِي الصَّلَاةَ، وإذَا أدْبَرَتْ، فَاغْسِلِي عَنْكِ الدَّمَ وصَلِّي

Allah's Messenger (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, "If menstruation has come, then do not pray. If it (menstruation) has gone, then clean the menstrual blood and pray."

وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْمَحِيضِ قُلْ هُوَ أَذًى فَاعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي الْمَحِيضِ وَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّىٰ يَطْهُرْنَ ۖ فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ فَأْتُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ التَّوَّابِينَ وَيُحِبُّ الْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ

They ask you about menstruation. Say, "Menstruation is something dirty." That is why you should stay away from women when they are menstruating. And do not approach them until they are pure. If they are pure, then come to them where Allah has commanded you. Verily, Allah loves those who repent and those who purify themselves." (Al-Baqarah: 222).

The conclusion is that ghusl or ghusl janabah should be performed after period to eliminate major hadas.

That's a brief explanation of "should you do ghusl after period?". As Muslims, we must understand that.

Ghusl After Period: When You Should Do It?

The second important thing about ghusl after period step by step what I will explain now is "ghusl after period: when you should do it?". I want you to understand that because it is one of the important questions about period that must be well understood.

If we read some Islamic legal literature on ghusl after period, we will not find an explanation of when Muslim women should perform ghusl specifically. The point is that there is no specific time to perform ghusl after period.

In Islamic legal literacy, Muslim women are required to perform ghusl after period if they are going to perform acts of worship that require them to be in a holy condition or if they are going to touch the Quran.

That's a brief explanation of "ghusl after period: when you should do it?". As Muslims, we must understand that.

Ghusl After Period Step by Step

The third important thing about ghusl after period step by step what I'm going to explain now is a specific explanation. I want you to understand that because that is the main topic of this article. So, you should read the explanation below very carefully.

In general, ghusl after period should be done by washing all the skin of the body. We can find this explanation in the hadith below:

عَنْ أَبِيْ هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ تَحْتَ كُلِّ شَعْرَةٍ جَنَابَةً ، فَاغْسِلُوْا الشَّعْرَ ، وَانْقُوْا الْبَشَرَةَ . رَوَاهُ أَبُوْ دَاوُدَ وَالتِّرْمِذِيُّ

From Abu Hurairah radiyallahu anhu, he said, "The Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has said, "Verily under every hair there is a janabah. Wash your hair and clean your skin!” The hadith was narrated by Abu Daud and at-Tirmidhi.

But specifically, if we read some Islamic legal literature on ghusl after period, we will find an explanation that there are two things that must be done in ghusl after period. The two things I mean are as follows:

• Niyyah for ghusl janabah or after period.

The niyyah for ghusl janabah or after period is as follows:

نَوَيْتُ الْغُسْلَ لِرَفْعِ الْحَدَثِ الْأَكْبَرِ فَرْضاً لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى

I intend to do ghusl to eliminate major hadas, as an obligation, because of Allah Taala.

• Pouring holy water that can purify all the skin of the body, from the scalp to the skin of the two soles of the feet.

That's a brief explanation of ghusl after period step by step. As Muslims, we must understand that.

What Should You Do If You Can't Do Ghusl After Period?

The fourth important thing about ghusl after period step by step what I will explain now is "what should you do if you can't do ghusl after period?". I want you to understand that because it is one of the important questions of this discussion that must be well understood.

In the previous few paragraphs, I have explained that ghusl is the most important way to get rid of major hadas after period. If Muslim women cannot do that, then they have to do tayammum.

So, if you can't do ghusl after your period, you have to do tayammum to get rid of big hadas.

In Islam, tayamumm is an alternative to removing minor hadas if Muslims cannot perform wudu and to removing major hadas if they cannot perform ghusl. We can find this explanation in the two hadiths below:

عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ؛ أُعْطِيْتُ خَمْسًا لَمْ يُعْطَهُنَّ أحَدٌ قَبْلِي: نُصِرْتُ بالرُّعْبِ مَسِيْرَةَ شَهْرٍ ، وَجُعِلَتْ لِيْ الأَرْضُ مَسْجِدًا وَطَهُوْرًا ، فَأَيُّمُا رَجُلٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِيْ أَدْرَكَتْهُ الصَّلَاةُ فَلْيُصَلِّ ، وَأُحِلَّتْ لِيْ المَغَانِمُ وَلَمْ تَحِلَّ لِأَحَدٍ قَبْلِيْ ، وَأُعْطِيْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ ، وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ يُبْعَثُ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ خَاصَّةً وَبُعِثْتُ إِلَى النَّاسِ عَامَّةً

From Jabir radliyallaahu anhu, that the Prophet (Muhammad) sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had said, “I have been given five things which were not given to any prophet before me; I have been helped by fear throughout the journey of a month, the earth has been made a holy place of prostration for me, so when the time has come to pray to someone, then let him pray. The spoils of war were made lawful for me and not for any prophet before me, I was given the right to intercede, the Prophets were sent only to their people while I was sent to all mankind."

عَنْ عَمَّارٍ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : بَعَثَنِيْ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيْ حَاجَةٍ . فَأَجْنَبْتُ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ الْمَاءَ . فَتَمَرَّغْتُ فِيْ الصَّعِيْدِ كمَاَ تَتَمَرَّعُ الدَّابَةُ . ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّمَا يَكْفِيْكَ أَنْ تَقُوْلَ بِيَدَيْكَ هَكَذَا . ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ بِيَدَيْهِ الْأَرْضَ ضَرْبَةً وَاحِدَةً ، ثُمَّ مَسَحَ الشِّمَالَ عَلَى الْيَمِيْنِ وَظَاهِرَ كَفَّيْهِ وَوَجْهِهِ . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ

From 'Ammar bin Yasir radliyallahu anhuma, he said, "The Prophet (Muhammad) sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has sent for a purpose. I then had junub (large hadas) and found no water. I then rolled on the high ground like an animal. Then I went to the Prophet (Muhammad) sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and told him about it. He then said, "Indeed, it is enough for you to do this with both your hands." Then he clapped his hands on the earth once. Then he rubbed his left hand over his right hand, the outside of his palm, and his face." The hadith was narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim.

The niyyah for tayammum is as follows:

نَوَيْتُ التَّيَمُّمَ لِإِسْتِبَاحَةِ الصَّلَاةِ فَرْضًا لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى

I intend to perform Tayammum to perform the prayer, as an obligation, because of Allah Taala.

That's a brief explanation of "what should you do if you can't do ghusl after period?". As Muslims, we must understand that.
