Washing private part in ghusl

Is it obligatory to wash one’s private part at the beginning of ghusl? What if one forgets? Does he have to repeat the ghusl?

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
There are three obligatory acts in ghusl: 1) to rinse one’s mouth 2) to rinse one’s nose 3) to wash the entire body.

To wash one’s private part in the beginning of ghusl is Sunnah, not obligatory. If a person forgot to wash his private part in the beginning of ghusl, there is no need to repeat the entire ghusl.

(Al-lubaab: pg. 21; Hashiya Tahtawi: pg. 104)

And Allah knows best.
