A religious person among our relatives was saying if we don¡¯t take bath according to Islamic guideline, we cannot be pure and even our Friday salah will not be acceptable. I was shocked to listen as I take bath daily and wash the whole body in a good manner and I guess all the Muslims do the same then how my bath will not be valid?, DI02

There are three compulsory actions in bath. If any of the three is missed, one cannot be pure if he was impure before taking bath. They are; rinsing the mouth, cleaning the inner part of nose by sniffing the water and washing the entire body. So, if you were doing all these three actions while taking bath then you become pure according to Islam and your salah is also valid. And if you were leaving any of them earlier, now must do all these actions while taking bath.
And Allah knows the best
