GHUSL (Bath)
Ghusl becomes compulsory in the following cases:
To make the niyyah for ghusl is sunnah
One should make the intention of becoming Tahir (Paak-pure) from that impurity which he wishes to get himself clean from, e.g. "I am making ghusl to become clean from janabah (that impurity which cannot be seen and makes ghusl compulsory)".
The three essentials (Fardh) of ghusl
1. Passing water into and out of the mouth; i.e. gargling.
2. Putting water into the nostrils.
3. Pouring water over the entire body. i.e. not even the hair's breadth is left dry.
There are five Sunan in ghusl
1. Intention to wash off impurities and become paak (pure).
2. Washing hands up to the wrists.
3. Washing the private parts and the parts upon which uncleanliness is found.
4. Making wudhu before washing the body.
5. Then passing water over the whole body three times.
OCCASIONS FOR WHICH GHUSL IS PREFERRED
Ghusl is recommended in the following cases:
1. Before going to Jumah Congregational (Friday Prayer).
2. Before going to Eid Prayers (Muslim annual feast prayers).
3. Before undertaking Umrah or Hajj (Pilgrimage to Makkah).
4. Upon washing a corpse. (According to many scholars, the performance of Ghusl is preferred for a person who washes a corpse).
5. When a person reverts to Islam.
Ghusl should be made straight after andsexual relations. If you do fall asleep then at least try to make ghusl before sehri ends. It is sinful to delay ghusl till fajr unnecessarrily. However, if a person delays it due to time constraints etc the fast is still accepted. In this case, ghusl should be made after sehri with care not to inhale or swallow water.

As far as the niyyat (intention) for the Ghusl is concerned, according to Hanafi jurists, the niyyat is not necessary for the validity of Ghusl. Thus if a person, who is under obligation to perform Ghusl, fall into a pool of water or runs under heavy rain and every part of his body becomes wet, it is considered that he has performed Ghusl irrespective of the fact that whether or not he intended to perform Ghusl. According to Imam Shafi, however, it is necessary to do niyyat before starting with Ghusl.
