Q:
1. Should I brush my teeth in order to remove the yellow particles before ghusl of janabah or can I just gargle my mouth? (Just gargling wont remove the yellow particles on the teeth)
2. I know that if one food particle is stuck on the teeth and is less than the size of a chana then no problem but what about if many particles got stuck in many teeth?
A:
1. Gargling is sufficient.
2. These small food particles will not prevent the ghusal from taking place.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
