Question<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Asalamualaikum. Hazrat, when doing ghusl, is it necessary to sniff water up to the bone in order for it to be valid? I don’t deal with the feeling all too well, and I sniff gently so a tiny bit of water just enters the nose, and then use my left finger to thoroughly the inside of the nostril, as I do when performing wudhu. Is this sufficient?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are three Fard acts of ghusl; (1) Rinsing the mouth (madmadmah)<\/em> (2) Passing water through nostrils (istinshaq) <\/em>(3) Washing the entire body<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The definition of istinshaq is, as explained by Ibn Abideen (rahimahullah) is for water to reach the soft bone of the nose. [1]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore, it is sufficient to pass water to the soft bone. You may use wet fingers to clean the nostrils, as you would with wudu. [2]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Only Allah knows best.<\/span><\/p>\n
