Mustafa Jaffer. Regards Abbas Jaffer Moderator - ABDG-A. ........................................................................... Question: Is it necessary to make "WUDHOO" for prayer after "GHUSAL" (Bath) or Ghusal itself is sufficient ? ............................................................................ Ghusls are of two kinds - Wajib (Obligatory) and Mustahabb (Recommended). "One can offer prayers without performing wudhoo after all Wajib Ghusls (except the bath for a medium istihaza - for ladies only) as well as after prescribed Mustahabb Ghusls."
