Ritual purity in Islam
Essential aspect of Islam / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about hygiene in Islam. For the Jewish Taharah ritual preparation for burial, see Bereavement in Judaism § Preparing the body — Taharah. For the Jewish laws of purification, see Tumah and taharah.
Purity (Arabic: طهارة, ṭahāra(h)[1]) is an essential aspect of Islam. It is the opposite of najāsa, the state of being ritually impure. It is achieved by first removing physical impurities (for example, urine) from the body, and then removing ritual impurity through wudu (usually) or ghusl.
