If you are not in a state of major ritual impurity (), then a normal shower is sufficient to remove ritual impurity (najasa) if it is eliminated by pure water (al-ma' al-mutlaq) and its traces, because intention is not a condition for purification from impurity. However, this shower does not suffice for ablution (wudu') nor for ritual bath () from janabah; rather, an intention is necessary for purification from ritual impurity ().
