Physical Purification in Islam A Muslim should not pray unless he is in state of physical purity (cleanliness) called Tahara. This means if a Muslim is impure for minor or major reasons/causes, a Muslim should not pray until he cleanses himself/herself. Two types of physical impurity causes exist: (a) major, and (b) minor: Minor impurity Causes include: urinating, excreting, farting, etc. A Muslim who experiences one of these minor impurity causes must wash certain parts of his body in a ritual called Wudu (the Bible prescribes a similar washing ritual referred to as Ablution) before he/she can pray. Major impurity Causes include: ejaculation, being in menses, etc. The Ghusul (full body wash performed according to a specific method) is obligatory to cleanse the body from major causes of impurity. For women, during their period of menses (menstruation), they should neither perform the 5 regular formal prayers and nor fast. After their period of menses (menstruation) ends, women should perform Ghusul, then women can start performing prayers and fast again. 2.
