Is the Ghusl considered valid if water is poured over the head and flows down to the abdomen and feet?
If the used water is pure, as some Verifiers have deemed most probable, then it removes ritual impurity from the other limb if it transfers to it. However, if it is said that it is pure but not purifying, then it does not remove janabah from the other limb. There are two opinions regarding the transfer of water from one limb to another for a person in a state of janabah: one is that it becomes used and does not purify, and the second — which is the more correct one — is that it does not become used by its transfer between the body’s limbs until it separates from all of them. Based on this, the questioner’s ghusl is valid.
