The way to do Ghusl from Janaabah or from menses is the same.
‘Ghusl’ is the bath taken for purity purposes.
It’s pretty simple.
If you need to purify yourself after menstruation or after intimacy with your spouse, it’s the same method.
You will do the following:
1. Make the intention to purify yourself with the bath.
Remember that there are NO specific words to be said or Aayaat or Du’aas to be read.
The intention is in the HEART.
2. Say Bismillaah (Recommended)
3. Wash your hands 3 times.
4. Wash your privates.
5. Make wudhu like you would for salah.
6. Pour water on your head 3 times making sure all the roots are completely wet.
7. Pour water on your body starting from the right side then left. And make sure water reaches everywhere.
Shaikh ibn Uthaymeen said:
“When he (meaning the Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam) wanted to do ghusl in the case of janaabah, he would wash his hands, then wash his private part and anywhere else that the impurity had reached, then he would do complete wudoo’, then he would wash his head three times with water, then he would wash the rest of his body. This is how complete ghusl is done.”
(Fataawa Arkaan al-Islam, p. 248.)
It’s allowed to use shampoo and soap if you like but to ‘purify’ oneself just water is enough.
And Allaah knows best
