How to Perform Janaba Cleansing Ritual


Janaba, also known as major ritual impurity, requires specific cleansing. Here’s how to perform the janaba cleansing ritual:

  • Intention (Niyyah): Make a sincere intention in your heart to purify yourself for the sake of Allah.
  • Start with Bismillah: Begin by saying “Bismillah” (In the name of Allah).
  • Wash Hands: Wash both hands up to the wrists three times.
  • Private Parts: Cleanse the private parts thoroughly.
  • Ablution (Wudu): Perform a complete wudu (ablution) as done before prayer.
  • Ghusl (Full Body Wash): Ensure that water reaches every part of your body. Start with the right side, then the left, and finally the rest.
  • Final Step: Take care to avoid wasting water while ensuring full coverage.

Performing janaba cleansing with understanding and dedication maintains both spiritual and physical purity.
