Purity: Doubt About Order in Ghusl: Is Qaḍā’ of Prayers Required?

English:

Question #196:

I took a bath with the intention of performing an obligatory ghusl, and after leaving the bathroom I doubted whether I observed the order in making ghusl or not. As I thought the mere intention of sequence is sufficient, I did not repeat the ghusl. Now, I wonder if I should perform the qaḍā’ of all the prayers offered thereafter?

Answer #196:

As per the given case, you have no duty. Yet, if you become certain that your ghusl was invalid, it is obligatory for you to repeat all the prayers in qaḍā’.
