Special Facilities in Ablution
With regard to the ablution Islam has offered certain fa-
cilities. If socks or stockings are on and have been put on af-
ter performing an ablution, it is not necessary to take them
off when renewing the ablution. Instead of taking them off,
the wet hand may be passed over them. They should be re-
moved, however, and the feet washed at least once in every
twenty-four hours. The same practice may be resorted to if
the boots are on and their soles and appearances are clean.
Similarly if there is a wound in any of the parts which must
be washed in the ablution, and if washing that particular part
is likely to cause harm, it is permissible to wipe the dressing
bandage of the wound with a wet hand.
Complete Ablution ( Ghusl/Bath)
The whole body with the nostrils, mouth and head must
be washed by a complete bath before entering Prayer in any
of the following cases:
1
.
After intimate intercourse;
2. After wet dreams;
3. Upon expiration of the menstruation period of women;
4. At the end of the confinement period of nursing wom-
en, which is estimated at a maximum of forty days. If it ends
before, complete ablution should be done.
