Ghusl, a full ritual purification, is obligatory for a Muslim woman after the cessation of menstruation. It involves washing the entire body with water, ensuring that water reaches every part, including the hair and skin. The intention (niyyah) to purify oneself from the state of impurity is a key component of this act of worship.
Performing this purification restores a woman’s state of ritual purity, allowing her to resume prayer, fasting, and other acts of worship that require this condition. Throughout Islamic history, this practice has been meticulously detailed and preserved, emphasizing the importance of cleanliness and spiritual readiness in a Muslim’s daily life.
