A brief summary of the requirements for the Ghusl follow:
First, the Muslim should make their intentions for purification, then wash the private parts. Then make wudu like the wudu done for prayer, then pour water on his right side, then the left side. Then water should be poured on his head, covering the entire body with water.
It is also reported in the sunnah that the washing the feet should be delayed until the end of the ghusl.
As is reported on the authority of A'ishah (May Allah be pleased with her) who said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) when performing ghusl from janaba used to wash his hands, then wash his private parts with his left hand. After that he performed wudu like that for prayer. Next he took some water and ran his fingers in the roots of his hair until he used three handfuls of water on his head. He would then go on pouring water on the rest of his body and wash his legs. (It was reported by Muslim #479.)
In the narration of Al-Bukhari it states that he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) then turned aside and washed his legs.

How should a person who has a wound do wudoo’ and ghusl?
If there is a wound in any part of the body, then this wound is either uncovered or it is covered with a dressing or bandage.
If it is covered with a dressing or bandage, then he should wash the healthy parts of the body, then he should wet his hand with water and wipe over the dressing. If he does this then he does not need to do tayammum.
There are ahaadeeth which speak about wiping over splints, but they are all da’eef (weak), but that has been proven from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him).
Al-Bayhaqi said:
Nothing has been proven from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) on this topic… rather this is the view of the fuqaha’ among the Taabi’een and those who came after them, as well as what we have narrated from Ibn ‘Umar. He mentioned with his isnaad that Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) did wudoo’ when his hand was bandaged, and he wiped over it and over the dressing, and he washed everything else. He said: This is saheeh from Ibn ‘Umar. End quote.
Al-Majmoo’, 2/368.
But if the wound is uncovered, then it must be washed with water if possible, but if washing it will harm it, and he can wipe it then he should wipe it. If that is not possible, then the wound should be left without washing or wiping, then when the person has finished doing wudoo’, he should do tayammum.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in al-Sharh al-Mumti’ (1/169)
The scholars (may Allaah have mercy on them) said: Wounds and the like are either uncovered or covered.
If the wound is uncovered then it must be washed with water. If it is not possible to wash it with water then it should be wiped over. If it is not possible to wipe over it then he should do tayammum. This is in order of preference.
If it is covered with some kind of appropriate material, then it can only be wiped. If wiping will harm it even though it is covered, then he should do tayammum, just as if it was uncovered. This is what was stated by the fuqaha’ (may Allaah have mercy on them). End quote.
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
If it has a dressing over it, he should wipe over it; if it is uncovered then he should do tayammum for it. End quote.
Fataawa Ibn Baaz, 10/118
Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan (may Allaah preserve him) was asked:
After the washing that the doctor did for me, some blood came from my hand, from the site of the injection, so he put a bandage over it. If I take it off it starts to bleed and would not stop until night. This bandage is still wrapped around my left hand. Is it permissible for me wipe over it when I do wudoo’ even though I was not taahir when it was put on, rather it was put on when there was bleeding; and how should I wipe over it?
He replied:
You should not take off the bandage which is over your wound, especially since taking it off will harm you and make it bleed. It is not permissible for you to take it off in this case, because that poses a danger to you. So leave it where it is, and when you do wudoo’ wash the part of the hand where there is no bandage, and for the part where the bandage is, it will be sufficient for you to wipe over the outside of it by wetting your hand with water and moving it over the outside of the bandage. This will suffice for you instead of washing what is beneath it for as long as it needs to stay, even if that is for many prayer times or for several days. It is not essential that the bandage have been put on when you were taahir, rather you may wipe over it, according to the correct view, even if you were not taahir at the time when it was put on and even if there is blood underneath it at the site of the injection or wound.
Conclusion: There is nothing wrong with you leaving the bandage on; rather you have to leave it on because it is in your interests. You can wipe over the outside of it when you wash the part of your hand that is not covered. End quote.

Laws Relating to the Woman in Menses (PART 2)
Regarding Yellowish and Brownish Discharges
If during the normal period, yellowish or brownish discharges occur, the woman must consider these as part of her menstruation, and therefore, the laws regarding menses (Laws Relating to Woman in Menses [Part 1]) apply to them.
If these discharges occur outside the normal period, then she should not consider them to be menstruation, and should instead consider herself to still be in a state of purity.
How does a woman know her menstruation has ended?
The end of the menstruation is shown by the end of the flow of blood, which can be recognized in two ways:
i. The flow of white discharge. This is a white discharge resembling whitewash, and it normally flows after the menstruation. Its color changes according to the differences in the conditions of women.
ii. The drying of the vagina. She finds that out by inserting a piece of cotton into her private part, and it comes out dry – without any sign of blood, or yellowish or brownish discharge.
What does a woman do at the end of her menses?
At the end of her menstruation the woman must perform a ritual cleansing – which involves washing her entire body with the intention of purifying herself. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
‘And if your menstruation occurs then leave prayer, and when it ends, wash yourself and resume praying.’
[Bukhaari]
The method of cleansing (Ghusl):
The woman makes the intention of removing the impurity, or purifying herself to perform the prayer and similar acts of worship. Then she should say, ‘Bismillah’ (in the name of Allah). She should then pour water over her entire body, and wet the roots of her hair with it, although if she has had it tied, it is not necessary to undo it; she merely wets it with the water. It is also permissible (allowed) if she uses Sidr (the leaves of the lotus tree) or some other form of cleansing agent. It is also mustahab (preferred) for her to use a piece of cotton scented with musk or other perfume to apply to her vagina after washing. This is proved by the order the Prophet (peace be upon him) gave to Asmaa to do so.
[Muslim]
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If the menstruating woman or the woman in lochia (bleeding after childbirth) becomes pure from the bleeding before the setting of the sun, then she must pray the Zuhr and Asr prayers of that day. If she becomes pure before the Fajr prayer, then she should pray the Magrib and Esha prayers of that night.
The times of both prayers is combined in times of necessity (a similar e.g. is during traveling prayers are combined), so if she becomes pure at the end of the day, then the time of Zuhr in her case still remains and so she must pray it before Asr. If she becomes pure at the end of the night then the time of Magrib for her still remains, so she must pray it before Esha.
If the time of prayer comes, and she menstruates or starts discharging lochia after childbirth before she is able to pray, then the strongest opinion is that she does not have to make up that prayer.
