Ghusl

Question

If due to an operation, the doctor says water should not be put into the nose, will ghusl be complete?

Answer

If entering water in the nose proves harmful, then it may be omitted and Ghusl will be considered to be complete. However, the moment you recover, water should be entered into the nose. There is no need to repeat the entire Ghusl.
