Is performing ghusl from janabah in this manner correct: making the intention, ensuring water reaches all parts of the body, then performing wudu up to the elbows, then pouring three handfuls of water over the head while running fingers through the hair, then wiping the ears, then washing the right side of the body, then the left, then washing the feet three times?
The ghusl (ritual bath) is incomplete and invalid if the person performing it only wipes their ears without washing them at all, because it is obligatory to wash them, just like the rest of the body.
