Does the ghusl for major ritual impurity and for Friday include washing the upper right and left parts (head, neck, and hand), and is it sufficient to sprinkle water on the private parts, or must they be touched when washing the lower part, given that they are thoroughly washed at the beginning of the ghusl?

The method for performing (ritual bath) after major ritual impurity () begins with washing the hands, then washing the private parts, then performing ablution (wudu') for prayer. After that, one should run their fingers through the roots of their hair and pour three handfuls of water over the head. Then, water should be poured over the rest of the body. It is recommended to start with the right side of the head and body, and then wash the feet.
