Wudu & Purity

Wudu, ghusl, what breaks your wudu, and staying clean for prayer in everyday life. Short, honest answers for new Muslims.

Does vaping break wudu?

No, vaping doesn't break wudu, since it isn't a nullifier. Rinse your mouth before prayer for the smell; many scholars discourage vaping.

Does a shower count as wudu? A proper ghusl does for most scholars; a regular shower depends on intention, order and your school of law.

What breaks wudu? Toilet, passing wind, deep sleep and fainting, say all scholars. Touching private parts, blood and camel meat are debated.

It depends on the school, but it's a good idea. Ghusl after the shahada is recommended or required. Here's how to do it.
