Ruling on Forgetting Mouth and Nose Rinsing During Ghusl Question: Umm Ḥamad from Tunisia asks about forgetting to rinse the mouth and nose during ghusl following janābah. Sheikh Sa’d Al-Khathlān ḥafidhahullāh: There is nothing required of her, because rinsing the mouth and nose during ghusl is not obligatory according to the sounder scholarly opinion. Rather, rinsing the mouth and nose is obligatory in wuḍūʾ, not in ghusl. For this reason, Allāh the Exalted says: “And if you are in a state of major impurity, then purify yourselves”—a general command stated without further specification. Likewise, the Prophet ﷺ said to a man in a state of janābah: “Take this and pour it over yourself,” meaning, pour it over your body. There is no report indicating that rinsing the mouth and nose is obligatory in ghusl, whereas there are specific hadiths that establish their obligation in wuḍūʾ. This indicates that rinsing the mouth and nose in ghusl is not obligatory. Accordingly, whoever forgets to do so bears no responsibility; even if one were to omit them deliberately, there is still no liability. However, it is more prudent not to omit them, so as to avoid the area of scholarly disagreement on the issue. Source: https://t.me/womensbenefits/1414
