(DRY ABLUTION)
AL- GHUSL (THE WASHING OR BATH)
The greater purification, Ghusl, is obligatory when one is defiled as a result of emission(or wet dream), marital intercourse, child birth, or when entering into the fold of Islam.
The procedure is as follows:
Begin with the name of Alláh as for Wudú. Wash the hands and the affected parts of the body with water to remove any impurity. Perform Wudú as above. Then wash the whole body three times, using clean water for eash wash.
TAYAMMUM (DRY ABLUTION)
On certain occasions, it may become either impossible (e.g. when water cannot be found or just enough for drinking is available), or it is dangerous, because of illness, to use water for Wudú or Ghusl. In such situations, Tayammum (dry ablution) is performed. The procedure:
Begin with the name of Alláh. Strike both palms on sand, or anything containing sand or dust, like a wall or a stone etc. Pass the palms. Rub the right hand with the left palm from the wrist to the elbow and similarly for the left palm from the wrist to the elbow and similarly for the left hand with the right palm. Finish with the Kalimatus-Shahadah as for Wudú.
