Specifically, there are some important points about niyyat for ghusl after menstruation which I will explain in this article. Some important things that I mean are as follows;
What Kind of Ghusl After Menstruation in Islam?
The first important thing about niyyat for ghusl after menstruation what I will explain now is “what kind of ghusl after menstruation in Islam?”. I want you to understand that first before you read any further explanations in this article because that is one of the important questions in this discussion that should be well understood.
Maybe you are wondering: why do we need to understand the type of ghusl after menstruation in Islam? The answer is because there are two types of ghusl in Islam. That's why we have to understand it. That's what I'll explain in a few paragraphs below.
Types of Ghusl in Islam
In general, there are two types of ghusl in Islam: mandatory ghusl and non-mandatory ghusl.
Mandatory ghusl is ghusl that must be done by Muslims. If they do not do that, they are not allowed to perform some acts of worship that require them to be in a holy condition.
Non-mandatory ghusl is ghusl that can be done and may not be done by Muslims. But if they do that, it's better for them.
The explanation of mandatory ghusl and non-mandatory ghusl is as follows:
Mandatory Ghusl in Islam
What is meant by mandatory ghusl in Islam is taking a bath to remove major hadas (الحَدَثُ الْأَكْبَرُ) or bathing Muslims who have died. In Islamic legal literacy, the obligatory ghusl is ghusl Janabah (غُسْلُ الْجَنَابَةِ) and bathing the corpse (غُسْلُ الْمَيِّتِ). There are several things that require Muslims to do that:
- If their sperm comes out.
- If they have had sex.
- If a Muslim woman's menstruation has been completed.
- If a Muslim woman's puerperium has been completed.
- If a Muslim woman has given birth.
- If a Muslim die.
Those are some things that require Muslims to do ghusl or get ghusl.
In general, the first to the fifth points relate to the surviving Muslims. Specifically, the first and second points relate to Muslim men and Muslim women. While the third point to the fifth point only relates to Muslim women. The sixth point relates to Muslim men and Muslim women who have died. The point is that the Muslims who are still alive must bathe the Muslims who have died.
Non-Mandatory Ghusl in Islam
What is meant by non-mandatory in Islam is ghusl that is carried out without the intention of eliminating major hadas (الحَدَثُ الْأَكْبَرُ) or not relating to Muslims who have died. The ghusl is the usual ghusl that is done with the aim of cleansing the body. So, Muslims are not obliged to do that. In other words, if they do not do that, then they are not sinful.
Now, if you ask me, “what is the type of ghusl after menstruation in Islam?”, the answer is ghusl Janabah (غُسْلُ الْجَنَابَةِ). The goal is to remove the big hadas (الحَدَثُ الْأَكْبَرُ) after menstruation.
We can find an explanation that Muslim women are required to perform ghusl Janabah (غُسْلُ الْجَنَابَةِ) after menstruation in the hadith below:
قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِذَا أقْبَلَتِ الحَيْضَةُ، فَدَعِي الصَّلَاةَ، وإذَا أدْبَرَتْ، فَاغْسِلِي عَنْكِ الدَّمَ وصَلِّي
Allah's Messenger (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, "If menstruation has come, then do not pray. If it (menstruation) has gone, then clean the menstrual blood and pray."
That is a brief explanation of "what kind of ghusl after menstruation in Islam?". As Muslims, we must understand that.
Why Is Niyyat for Ghusl After Menstruation Important?
The second important point about niyyat for ghusl after menstruation what I will explain now is “why is niyyat for ghusl after menstruation important?”. I want you to understand that because it is one of the important questions in this discussion that must be well understood.
Niyyat is the intention or purpose of an action. Niyyat is something that distinguishes one thing from another. I think you already know about that. So, I will not explain much about it in this article.
In the previous few paragraphs, I have explained two types of ghusl in Islam. The first ghusl is mandatoryghusl, while the second ghusl is not mandatory.
So, if you ask me, "why is niyyat for ghusl after menstruation important?", the answer is to distinguish between the purpose or purpose of mandatory ghusl or ghusl Janabah (غُسْلُ الْجَنَابَةِ) and non-mandatory ghusl: that what is done is ghusl Janabah.
That's a brief explanation of "why is niyyat for ghusl after menstruation important?". As Muslims, we must understand that.
