Ghusl . Hair . Shower . Water . Salah (Prayers)

I did Ghusl for about 5 minutes plus, but I feel like my hair was not washed enough. I was under the shower with water going on my hair for the 5 minutes, but I did not necessarily use my hands to wash it. Does my Ghusl and prayers count?

Bismihi ta'ala

Being under the water for 5 minutes would, in most, if not all cases make water reach all parts of your head, and that would be enough for your ghusl. The important thing is you follow the correct procedure of ghusl, which is head/neck, then right side of body, then left side of body.

Avoiding excessive doubt is also very important.

No, it is not obligatory to perform Salat before wearing Hirz of Imam Al-Jawad (AS).

It is not obligatory to take it off to go to shower.

Shower . Water . Head

Is it true that the shower water splits and is considered Qalil even when connected to a Kurr source? Should I consider all the water coming out of the shower head to be Kurr while the shower is on?

When the shower water is continuous then it is connected with the Kurr and has the rule of Kurr water.

Ghusl . Shower . Water . Body

Does Ghusl have to be done in the shower or can it be done in front of the sink where water is wiped on all parts of the body?

Ghusl does not need water flowing on the body, but needs just making any amount of water reach to every part of the body even by wiping water on all parts of the body. A big scholar in Najaf Ashraf who is Ayatullah Sayyed Muhammad Husain Al-Hakeem said: Ghusl can be performed with one cup of water by putting my hand in the cup of water then wiping over my head, face, neck, right side of body then left side of the body. Making the water touch by wiping to the whole body won't take more than one cup of water.

You can refer to Islamic rules of your Marja' of Taqleed for more details.

Ghusl . Shower . Water . Body

Does Ghusl have to be done in the shower or can it be done in front of the sink where water is wiped on all parts of the body?

Bismihi ta'ala

Ghusl does not need to be done in the shower, but it must be "washing", and water flowing, or to submerge yourself completely under water "ghusl irtimasi". Wiping in front of a sink would not be considered as ghusl, and therefore invalid.

Shower . Wudu (Ablution) . Ghusl

Is my Wudu still valid if I perform mandatory Ghusul but touch my private parts to ensure they are cleansed or touch them with a towel when I am drying after the shower? What about if I make Wudu first and then shower and touch my private parts?

Bismillah,

Asalamu Alaykom,

Merely touching one's private parts doesn't break Wudu for Shia Muslims; it would however break one's wudu for those who refer to themselves as Ahlus Sunnah. Yes, if one masturbated causing ejaculation this would break the wudu and one would require ghusl al janabah.

May Allah grant you success

Shower . Ghusl

If we are done showering, do we have to be dry before performing a Ghusul or is it permissible to do Ghusul right after the shower?

No need to be dry before starting the Ghusl. We can perform Ghusl on wet body right after the shower.

This is one of differences between Ghusl and Wudhu. In Wudhu we must make the area of wiping (over the head and the feet) dry before wiping over it, but Ghusl does not need any part of our body to be dry.

Najis . Urine . Shower . Najasa (Impurity)

When someone is Najis with urine or faeces, and they are in the shower, do they become Tahir by simply standing under the shower once, after the actual Najasa is removed, or must they step out from the shower and re-enter to wash twice?

After the Najasat is removed, shower water falling on the Najis areas is enough immediately to make your body Taahir with out need to go out of the shower and re enter.

Wassalam.
