The stomach should be gently be massaged, then both the Istinja places should be
washed with mittens on, without looking at the private parts.

The nostrils, ears and mouth should be closed with cotton wool to prevent water from
entering the body during the Ghusl.

If the deceased has reached the age of puberty, and was one given WUDHU. This Wudhu
is similar to that of Namaaz, with the exception of GARGLING and putting water into the
NOSTRILS. The proper sequence should be to wash :
1.
The FACE.
2.
ARMS to the ELBOWS.

MASAH of the HEAD and

If the dead person is in the state of JANAABAT, HAIZ or NIFAAS, (a state in which GHUSL
is WAAJIB on him/her), then the mouth HAS TO be gargled and nostrils be made wet. This
can be done with a little bit of cotton wool.

After Wudhu, the head and beard should first be washed with soap or any other cleaning
agent. If these are not readily available, pure clean water will suffice. The temperature of
the water must be that which a living person normally uses when bathing.
10.Thereafter the body should be tilted onto its left side to allow the right side to be washed
first. Warm water should now be poured over the body from head to the toes once, and
the body should be washed with soap until the water has reached the bottom, (left side).
The body should now be washed again twice by pouring water from head to toe. The body
should then be turned onto it's right side and the left side bathed similarly.
11.Thereafter the body should be lifted slightly to a sitting position, and the stomach be
gently massage with a downward stroke. Whatever comes out of the body should be
washed away. The WUDHU and GHUSI need NOT be REPEATED in case any impurity dries
come out.
12.The body should since again be turned onto its left side and camphor water poured over it
from head to three times.
13.All the cotton wool should now removed from the mouth, ears and nose.
14.With this, the Ghusl is complete and the body could be wiped with a towel or a piece of
material. The SATR must be kept covered. The FIRST Tehband will be wet due to the
Ghusl. It should thus be changed for a second one. Care should be taken that while doing
this the SATR is NOT exposed.
15.The body should then be wrapped in a sheet and carried carefully onto the Kafn.
