salam, recently i enquired whether you have to do wadhu after taking a shower or if you can immediately read namaz without doing wadhu (only take a shower) because we have just taken a shower and therefore washed our whole body (no ghusal or wadhu).i did not mean ghusal (after menstruation, sexual intercourse or wet dreams). i was plainly asking if we can read namaz with just taking a shower because i thought the wadhu was more of a spiritual cleansing rather than a shower, our everyday wash to keep our bodies clean (in a worldy aspect). And also i thought that with the wadhu we have to be fully clothed and with taking a shower, we are naked.

i would also like to ask if when we are "cleansing" ourselves (paak) after menstruating, is there a dua that we have to read because all i read is "surah ikhlas" and then i also do wadhu but i know people that do different things. so is there something else we are supposed to do?i thought that this surah was very important and can be read for it. also, is there any certain way of performing ghusal after menstruating?
thank you

Saalam,

This question was already answered. Ghusl means to wash all body parts and it dont matter if you are on period or what.. the answer i gave to you before answers this.

The answer remains the same.. Ghusl which means to wash all body parts, cancels out the need for wudhu.

Also there is not special bath to take or any duaas or surats to recite after your period. The only thing the women would do after Menstruating is wipe themselves with perfume such as musk afterwards. [Bukhari and Muslim]

To do any of these things after your period is Bidah and as Muslims we are to avoid innovations because every innovation will lead to the hell fire.

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
