The answer

The beard must be thoroughly [combed/massaged] during (ritual bath) for (state of ritual impurity) so that water reaches the skin. The method of doing this is by taking a handful of water and applying it from underneath the beard with the fingers or from its sides while rubbing it. There is no specific time limit for this process; the focus is on ensuring water reaches the skin. As for what is attributed to Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, regarding the Prophet's, peace and blessings be upon him, method of ghusl for janabah, it is authentic. We advise the questioner to turn away from obsessive thoughts and not pay attention to them.
