6-It is Sunnah to wash
and rub the water throughout all the limbs on ones’ body doing it three times.
Al-‘Uthaymeen explains that the description of spreading water over the body
was given in the Hadeeth of A’aisha [may Allaah be Pleased with her and her
father] as reported al-Bukhaaree (272) and Muslim (316). Thus water must reach
all parts of the body.
As for washing the
body thrice, then the scholars have drawn an analogy between Ghusl and Wudhoo,
and this is the opinion of the Hanbalees.
Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn
Taymiyyah [may Allaah have Mercy on him] and others from the scholars stated
there is no basis to recommend this as there is no evidence from the practice
of the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him]to prove this.
As for rubbing the
water over his body then the purpose for this is to ensure that water has reached
all parts of the body, thus it is Sunnah to rub whilst bathing.
