Cleansing from Visible Refuse
This is two types: Dirt and Parts
The first type is dirt and fluid, these are eight:
One: What has infested the head such as lice, the cleansing of it is preferable by
washing and combing and the application of ointments, and removing the eggs.
Two: What has accumulated in the folds of the ears; wiping will remove only
what appears of it, but what is inside the ear should be cleaned gently after
leaving the bathroom, if it is done too roughly the hearing may be harmed.
Three: What has collected in the nose of solids and liquids should be removed
by putting water into the nose and cleaning it by expelling the water out.
Four: What has built up on the teeth and on the end of the tongue of plaque,
should be removed by gargling and by the siwak.
Five: What has accumulated in the beard of dirt should be washed and combed.
