The answer

Overriding probability (Ghalabat al-Dhann) is sufficient for encompassing the body with water and ensuring it reaches all areas during (ritual bath), as it is considered equivalent to certainty (Yaqeen). The evidence for this is Aishah's narration describing the Prophet's ghusl (peace be upon him). Al-Shawkani said in his commentary: "This is proof that overriding probability regarding water reaching what must be washed is like certainty." It is also mentioned in the commentary of I'anat al-Talibin that overriding probability concerning water encompassing the entire limb is sufficient, and certainty is not required.
