Brushing the teeth before ghusal

Submitted by user2 on Tue, 2017-10-17 07:30

Q:

1. Should I brush my teeth in order to remove the yellow particles before ghusl of janabah or can I just gargle my mouth? (Just gargling wont remove the yellow particles on the teeth)

2. I know that if one food particle is stuck on the teeth and is less than the size of a chana then no problem but what about if many particles got stuck in many teeth?

A:

1. Gargling is sufficient.

2. These small food particles will not prevent the ghusal from taking place.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
