Purify yourselves from all major and minor impurities when you want to
perform any Salaah (whether obligatory or supererogatory prayer).

Any one who wants to perform prayer should make ablution in the same
manner as dictated by Shari’ah. The way to perform ablution is as follows:

x Make the intention of making ablution in your heart without uttering it, as
this was never done by the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam before
ablution or prayer or any other act of worship, because Allaah knows best
what is in the heart each person.
x Then say “Bismillaah” [in the Name of Allaah].
x Wash the hands three times.
x Rinse the mouth with water three times.
x Sniff water up the nostrils, and then blow it out three times.

x Wash the whole face three times from the lobe of the left ear to the lobe of
the right (width of the face), from the roots of the hair of the head down to
the lower part of the beard (length of the face), with due care, without
neglecting any part.
x Wash the arms up to the elbows three times, starting with the right hand,
then the left.
x Wipe the head with wet hands, from the front of the head to the beginning of
the neck, and then back to the front of the head.
x Wipe the ears by inserting the index fingers into the auditory opening while
wiping the outer part with the thumbs.
x Wash the feet up to the ankles three times.

Ghusl (Bathing)

Purifying yourselves from major impurities (like after having a sexual
intercourse and after menstruation) is compulsory, and it is performed in the
following fashion:

x Make the intention of making ablution in your heart without uttering it.
x Then say “Bismillaah” [in the Name of Allaah].
x Perform a complete ablution.
x Pour waster over the head three times.
x Wash the entire body.

 This is a summarized study according to the texts of the Quran and the
 Sunnah on ablution ritual purification with water , Ghusl bathing , Tayammum dry ablution and some rulings concerning prayer.
