The Shar’i method of performing Ghusl (Bathing) after the stoppage of Haidh (Mensturation) is ; She should first wash both her hands up to the wrists and then relieve herself and clean. Then clean the places of the body where the impure is, and then make Wudhu (Ablution). Thereafter pour water over the head three times then over right shoulder three times and over left shoulder three times in such a way that water seeps through all over the body and after pouring water for the first time rub the body so that water reaches everywhere in the body. If the woman has long hair and tied up as knots it is not necessary to untie the knots, however it is necessary that water reaches the root. And if necessity arises, pubic hair too should be cleaned. For further details and explanations it will be beneficent to keep the Book Beheshti Zewar (Heavenly Ornaments in English) authored by Hakeemul Ummath Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi Rahimahullah under reference.

مأخَذُ الفَتوی

وقال اللہ تعالٰی: ﴿ولا تقربوھن حتی یطھرن﴾ (آیت: ۲۲۲ سورة البقرة)
وفی المشکوٰة: عن عائشة رضی اللہ عنہا قالت کان رسول اللہ ﷺ اذا اغتسل من الجنابة بدأ فغسل یدیہ ثم یتوضأ کما یتوضأ للصلوٰة ثم یدخل اصابعہ فی الماء فیخلل بھا اصول شعرہ ثم یصب علی رأسہ ثلث غرفات بیدیہ ثم یفیض الماء علی جلدہ کلہ وفی روایة لمسلم یبدأ فیغسل یدیہ قبل ان یدخلھما الاناء ثم یفرغ بیمینہ علی شمالہ فیغسل فرجہ ثم یتوضأ. (ج۱، ص۴۸) واللہ اعلم بالصواب
