The Amount Of Water To Be Used For Ghusl
Question
How much water should be used for Ghusl?
Answer
An exact amount of water cannot be stipulated for Ghusl, as people differ in size.
Therefore, that amount of water should be used which is sufficient for the person’s body and anything more than that will be regarded as wastage and a sin.
