Q293: Do you have to clean bellybutton

Question

do you have to clean bellybutton?

How do you clean bellybutton, because it’s hard to clean sometimes.

Answer

In Fardh ghusl it is necessary to clean the bellybutton, regardless of difficulty. If water does not reach inside and it stays dry then the ghusl will not be valid. Similarly that part of the ears which is visible, must be cleaned otherwise ghusl will not be valid.
