Is it permissible to complete the ghusl, or must it be redone, if drops of water fall from the body into the vessel used for ghusl?

If a small amount of water falls from the body into the vessel, it does not affect the validity of the ritual bath (), and there is no need to repeat it. However, if the amount is large, the ghusl is considered insufficient by many scholars. Since there is no specific religious definition for "small amount," common practice ( عرف) is referred to. As for the Maliki school, the ghusl is considered sufficient in all cases, and it is permissible to follow this opinion.
