What is said when performing ghusl for janabah?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no ذكر (remembrance/supplication) to be recited when intending to perform other than saying "Bismillah" (in the name of Allah). The person performing ghusl must intend in their heart to lift the major ritual impurity (), and it is not obligatory for them to vocalize the intention, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Actions are but by intentions."
