    651. The scholars of jurisprudence have mentioned many recommended ghusls. The following are some of them:
    1. The ghusl on all the odd nights of Ramadan, and the ghusl on every night during the last ten nights of Ramadan, and an additional ghusl towards the end of the twenty third night.
    2. The ghusl on the twenty fourth day of Dhul Íijjah.
    3. The ghusl of ‘Ïd Nowruz, the fifteenth of Sha‘bÁn, the ninth and seventeenth of RabБ al-Awwal, and the twenty fifth of Dhul QaÞdah.
    4. The ghusl performed by a woman who has perfumed herself for someone other than her husband.
    5. The ghusl performed by a person who fell asleep in the state of intoxication.
    6. The ghusl performed by a person who went to see a hanged person, and actually saw him. However, if he sees him by chance or out of helplessness, or for example, he had gone for the purpose of giving testimony, the ghusl will not be mustaÎab (recommended) in his case.
    7. The ghusl for entering Masjid al-NabÐ (Peace be upon him and his progeny).
    8. The ghusl for performing the ziyÁrah of the Ma‘sÙmÐn (Peace be upon them all), be it from near or from a distance.
    9. The ghusl on the day of ‘Ïd al-GhadÐr.
    However, the more precautionary measure is that these ghusls be performed with the intention of rajÁÞ.

    652. Having performed the recommended ghusls mentioned in article 650, a person may proceed to perform acts which require wuÃÙ, like offering prayers. However, the ghusls which are performed with the intention of rajÁÞ do not suffice in lieu of wuÃÙ.

    653. If a number of ghusls are recommended for a person to perform, and he performs one ghusl with the intention of performing all of them, it will suffice.

    650. Certain ghusls are recommended in the sacred canon of Islam. Amongst these are:
    1. The ghusl of Friday (ghusl al-jumu‘ah). Its prescribed time commences after the adhÁn of fajr, and extends until the time of Ûuhr. It is better that it be performed close to the time of Ûuhr. If a person does not perform it by Ûuhr, he should perform it prior to sunset without the intention of adÁ or qaÃÁ. If he fails to perform it on Friday, it is recommended that he performs it qaÃÁ between the morning and sunset of Saturday. One who knows that he will not be able to obtain water on Friday, may perform the ghusl on Thursday day with the intention of rajÁÞ.
    It is recommended that the person performing the ghusl of Friday recite the following while performing the ghusl:
    َ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ التَّوَّابِينَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْمُتَطَهِّرِين
    Ash hadu an la ilaaha il lal lahu wahdahu la sharika lah wa anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa Rasuluh. Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammadin wa Aali Muhammadiw waj'alni minat tawwaabeena waj'alni minal muta taahhireen.
    2. The ghusl on the night of the first, seventeenth, nineteenth, twenty first, twenty third and twenty fourth of Ramadan.
    3. The ghusl on the day of ‘Ðd al-fiÔr and ‘Ðd al-aÃÎÁ. Its prescribed ‏time commences from the adhÁn of fajr and ends at sunset, albeit the more precautious practice is that if it is performed between Ûuhr and sunset, it should be done so with the intention of rajÁÞ. In fact, it is better that it be performed prior to the ‘Ðd prayer.
    4. The ghusl on the night of ‘Ðd al-fiÔr, and its prescribed time is after sunset. The obligatory precaution is that if he performs it during the remaining part of the night and before the adhÁn of fajr, he should do so with the intention of rajÁÞ.
    5. The ghusl on the eighth and ninth day of dhul Îijjah. On the ninth day, it is more precautionary to perform it at mid-day.
    6. The ghusl for offering the qaÃÁ of the prayer for signs, by someone who intentionally failed to offer the prayer during a total solar eclipse.
    7. The ghusl by a person who caused a part of his body to come in contact with a dead body which has been given ghusl.
    8. The ghusl for (putting on) iÎrÁm.
    9. The ghusl for entering the Divine sanctuary (around Makkah) ({^ The sanctuary is a part of Makkah which is greater than the area cover by Masjid al-ÍarÁm. .^})
    10. The ghusl for entering Makkah.

    17. The ghusl for imprecating an enemy (mubÁhilah)
