I take 2 or more hours for performing Ghusl with 40 minutes spent applying soap to ensure there are no obstacles. For the inside part of the ears I take much time in applying soap until the stickiness goes away. Am I doing Ghusl the right way?
This is completely wrong practice and it is from Shaitan. The Hadeeth says : Ghusl is with Saa' صاع which is three liter of water. Wasting water and wasting time is wrong. Ghusl takes no more than few minutes. More than than it from whispering of Shaitan which is called WASWASA.
Wassalam.
