Salaams Ummulbanin Merali - Moderator - 'Aalim Network ************************************************************************** Question: I would like to have the answer to the following question according to the rulings of Al-Khui and As-Seestani. Is the method (and the process) of performing Ghusle Janabat any different if the action leading to the Janabat is illegal, i.e., masturbation, zina, etc..? May Allah forgive our sins. -------------------------- Answer: As far as the method of the ghuls of Janabat caused by haram acts is concerned, there is no difference between the fatawa of Ayatulla Al-Khui and Ayatullah Seestani. The method of ghusl for halal and haram JUNUB is the same. Note: Both of them rule that the sweat of Junub bil Haram (having ghusl Janabat wajib due to a haram act) is Taahir, but as a recommended precaution, the clothes soiled with such sweat should not be worn for salaa(namaz). Both of them rule that after Ghusl of Janabat (caused by halal or haram) wudhoo is not necessary, unless any such act has been committed which invalidates wudhoo. Except in the case of the homosexual act between males where wudhoo after ghuls is wajib for both. (May Allah save us from all evils).
