Does hesitation in the intention to complete the obligatory ghusl, due to the occurrence of something that nullifies purity during it, invalidate the ghusl?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a person performing hesitates in cutting off their intention and does not resolve to cut it off, their ghusl is not invalidated, because the original state is the continuation of the intention. As for ghusl from residual semen, the more correct opinion is that ghusl is not obligatory, and wudu is sufficient.
