When Is A Full Bath Rendered Essential:
A full bath is called for:
When a person has discharged semen with or without sexual contact. (Muslims are forbidden from praying or even handling the Holy Qur’an when they are unclean as above).
When a woman concludes her menstrual or postnatal bleeding.
On Fridays, a bath is a must for all Muslim men, women and children.
This is also true of the two festivals, the Eidul Fith’r (1st of Shawwal, end of Fasting) and the Eidul Ad’ha (Baqrid, the 10th of Zul Haj).
A person embracing Islam also performs a bath prior to declaring his/her allegiance to Allah and His Rasool Syedina Mohammed S.A.W.S.
