Rules of Prayer
Before attempting any sort of prayer, our bodies should be totally purified. In order for us to be in this state, he or she must perform something called Wudu (Ablution).
You are able to maintain the state of Wudu unless you attend the call of nature, pass wind, sleep, or become unconscious. Now, if a person was in a major state of impurity resulting from actions like, i.e. intercourse or semen discharge, then he must perform Ghusl (Bathing) Women should also carry out this cleansing to purify themselves after intercourse, wet dreams, or recovering from menstrual period and child birth.
The procedure for Ghusl (bathing) is as follows:
Make the intention for Ghusl (ceremonial bath)
Wash the private parts,
Perform ablution (Wudu) as you do before prayer,
Pour water over the head
Wash the whole body, head and hair thoroughly so as not to leave a dry spot.
Wash feet before getting out of bathing area
Thank and praise Allah and supplicate him. It is required that a Muslim perform Ghusl once a week, that is on Friday before the congregational prayers but a daily bath is hygienically preferred. Women are excused from prayers on days of menstruation and childbirth period.
