Must a woman make up prayers and fasts for three years if she performed ghusl from menstruation without arranging the limbs or knowing the correct method of ghusl, despite having the intention for ghusl and ensuring water covered the entire body?
The ghusl (ritual bath) performed by the woman mentioned is valid and sufficient if she covers her entire body with pure water, intending to purify herself. It is not a condition to wash the body parts in a specific order when performing ghusl from major impurity. Furthermore, performing ghusl by first using soap and then pouring water over the body is also sufficient.
