If one was to convert Islam there is no obligatory ghusl for them to perform. The only mandatory act is to recite the Shahadatayn.

And Allah knows best.

Ghusl . Ear

What are considered the inner and outer parts of the ear in Ghusl?

Bismihi ta'ala

The necessary part to wash in the ear in a Ghusl is simply the parts exposed and accessible, and nothing more. Just allowing water to run down it would be enough and valid.

And Allah knows best.

Ghusl . Skin . Bandage

If I need to perform Ghusl after menstruation but I have ripped my skin on an area on my thumb how should I do it? Should I remove the bandage though it hurts and could get infected?

Bismihi ta'ala

When you do a ghusl, you must make sure that there is nothing that would prevent water from getting to your skin.

Unless of course water would harm a particular area and you must keep it dry. In this case, you perform Ghusl Jabirah.

However, if you can get it wet, and you are able to remove the bandage, even though it could be inconvenient or hurt a bit when taking it off, then try to bear it, do the ghusl, and then use a disinfectant and put a new bandage on.

And Allah knows best.

Bismillah,

Asalamu Alaykom,

Check in your Islamic laws book of your marja for details and conditions of when to perform this. It is like a normal ghusl with a different intention.

Wudu isn't needed after ghusl al janabah and you would automatically have wudu unless you break it during or after your ghusl. For other non-janabah ghusls wudu must be made before or after if you wish to pray.

May Allah grant you success

Ghusl . Sexual . Salah (Prayers) . Sawm (Fasting)

When I was younger I did not know about Ghusl Janabah and I realize now that some of my Salat or Sawm may have been affected. What should I do now?

If you doubt whether your previous prayers and fasting were performed with or with out Ghusl of Janabah, then you do not need to re do it, but if you are sure that you did not perform Ghusl of Janabah, then you need to re do it as Qadha.

While doing Ghusl I bit my tongue and felt it bled a little due to a metallic taste in my mouth. But when I checked after Ghusl there was no visible injury nor any sign of blood. Should I consider my Ghusl valid?

Yes, your Ghusl is valid whether your tongue was injuries or not and whether you had a blood inside your mouth or not.

Menstruation . Ghusl

After I have completed my Ghusal for Hayz I noticed a very small spot of brown discharge. Does that mean I have to redo the Ghusal?

If it happened within the ten days from the start of the menstruation (the maximum period of menses is ten days and the minimum is three days), then it is considered part of your menstruation and you need to perform Ghusl of Hayz after being sure that bleeding has completely stopped.

Sexual . Ghusl

Do I need to perform Ghusul if I see a few drops of white fluid because I felt a little bit of sexual arousal?

Bismillah,

Asalamu Alaykom,

If you know that the white fluid is semen then you must perform the ghusl al janabah. If you also feel ejaculation after sexual excitement which causes this white liquid to come out then you do ghusl.

May Allah grant you success

In the name of Allah

Touching the words of the Quran without Wudhu or Ghusl is Haram.
However, Touching other parts of the Quran, like the cover, page margins, etc. without Wudhu or Ghusl, is not Haram, but it's Makrooh.

WasSalaam.
