Description of the Ghusl: To Wash Ones’ Feet in a Separate Place [Part 8]

8-It is Sunnah to wash your feet at the end of the Ghusl in a different place. Al-‘Uthaymeen explains that once the person intends to end his Ghusl is it is Sunnah with some scholars to wash the feet in a different place.

However, al-‘Uthaymeen explains that this is the case if the place is not clean, such as having Ghusl in a place where ones’ feet may touch impurities or the floor beneath him becomes muddy. As for what is common nowadays, then the issue of washing one’s feet elsewhere doesn’t apply. The reason for washing the feet elsewhere is because if one washes their feet during the Ghusl in an improper place then they will have to wash their feet elsewhere again anyway.

This is how we can reconcile between the Hadeeth of A’iashah [may Allaah be Pleased with her and her father] in which there is no mention of feet being washed elsewhere and the Hadeeth of Maymoonah [may Allaah be Pleased with her] where it states he washed his feet elsewhere.

End of description of the Sunnah acts of Ghusl.
