Performing Ghusl (Ritual Bath) After Menstruation:

1. Intention (Niyyah):

• Begin by making a sincere intention for Ghusl, stating your intention to purify yourself from the state of menstruation.

2. Wash Hands:

• Start by washing your hands thoroughly, ensuring that no part is left dry.

3. Clean the Private Parts:

• Clean your private parts from any menstrual discharge. You may use a mild, unscented soap if needed.

4. Perform Wudu (Ablution):

• Complete a regular wudu (ablution) as you would before prayer. This includes washing the face, arms, wiping the head, and washing the feet.

5. Pour Water Over the Body:

• After performing wudu, pour water over your entire body, making sure it reaches every part. You can use a container or a shower for this purpose.

6. Ensure Water Reaches Everywhere:

• Ensure that water reaches every part of your body, including your hair, ears, and between your fingers and toes.

7. Cleanliness:

• Repeat the process until you are satisfied that you are completely clean and free from menstrual discharge.

8. Specific Intention for Ghusl:

• While performing Ghusl, it’s good to renew your intention by saying something like, “I intend to perform Ghusl to purify myself from the state of menstruation.”

Regarding the Color of Discharge:

• The color of discharge can vary for different women. What is important is ensuring that there is no visible menstrual discharge during Ghusl. The water should be clear when you finish your Ghusl.

Tayammum (Dry Ablution) When Water is Unavailable:

1. Intention (Niyyah):

• Begin by making a sincere intention for Tayammum, stating your intention to perform dry ablution due to the unavailability of water.

2. Strike the Hands on Clean Earth or Dust:

• Find clean earth or dust (free from impurities) and gently strike both your hands on it.

3. Wipe the Face:

• Wipe your face with both hands, starting from your forehead and moving to your chin. Ensure that your face is thoroughly covered.

4. Wipe the Hands:

• After wiping your face, wipe your hands up to your wrists with the remaining dust on your hands.

5. Specific Intention for Tayammum:

• While performing Tayammum, renew your intention by saying something like, “I intend to perform Tayammum as a substitute for Wudu (ablution) or Ghusl due to the unavailability of water.”

Duration of Menstruation:

• The duration of menstruation varies for each woman but typically lasts for 3 to 7 days. It can be shorter or longer in some cases.

It’s important to note that Ghusl after menstruation is essential before resuming acts of worship, such as prayer and fasting. Tayammum is a valid alternative when water is unavailable, but it’s essential to use water whenever possible for purification.
