Question
According to the Imaam conducting Hajj class for us, gargling the mouth and putting water in the nose is Sunnat, and ghusl will be valid according to the Shaafi' and Hanafi Math-habs even if these two acts were not done. Is this correct?
Answer
According to the Hanafi Math-hab, it is Fardh to gargle the mouth and apply water into the nostrils. Without this, the ghusl will not be valid. However, according to the Shaafi' Math-hab, if these acts are omitted, then while the ghusl will be valid it is sinful (Makrooh) to discard these Sunnat acts. The Imaam has grievously erred for saying that the ghusl is valid according to even the Hanafi Math-hab in this case.
