What are the invalidators of ghusl?
If the person performed the ghusl correctly, then he can have either a minor occurrence or a major occurrence. Minor occurrences are those things that break the wudhu, such as breaking wind or urinating. In such a situation, wudhu will be required to perform any prayers. If he had a major occurrence, like entering the state of janabah, then ghusl become obligatory in order to pray.
If one passes wind or releases urine while performing ghusl, is it necessary to repeat the ghusl or is it in order?
It is permissible to finish the ghusl, although it is better to repeat it, and he should perform the wudhu before offering the prayer.
If after finishing ghusl, I remember that my leg was najis before I started ghusl, will I have to repeat the ghusl again completely? Is it sufficient to make only my leg tahir and wash that part only with the intention of ghusl?
It is sufficient to purify your leg and wash it, with the intention of ghusl.
Can I do obligatory and recommended ghusls all in one ghusl? Or should each one be separated from the other?
Yes, you can join them together in one ghusl.
Is it necessary to perform wudhu after ghusl if you already included your wudhu in your ghusl by intention?
The wudhu and the ghusl are two separate actions, and they cannot be combined. However, obligatory ghusls and established recommended ghusls compensate for the requirement of wudhu, without the need for an additional intention.
If one completes his ghusl only to find that there was a barrier on the skin on a part of his body, can he remove the said barrier and wash the part and consider the ghusl complete? Or is it necessary for him to restart the ghusl from the beginning?
One can remove the barrier and then wash the area to complete the ghusl, as long as nothing had occurred thus far that would invalidate the tahara, such as the passing of wind or sleeping.
If such a thing has occurred, then the area should be washed as mentioned above and then wudhu should be performed before offering the prayers.
When one urinates after ejaculation for the purposes of istibrā, and afterwards some drops of blood are seen to be discharged too, is the istibrā correct and is the ghusl performed afterwards correct too? Or should one wait until the drops of blood stop?
If he performs istibrā from semen by urinating, the process of istibrā is correct, even if blood was discharged after that. He can then perform ghusl and ensure tahir water reaches all parts of his body. Similarly, if the blood stops for a short period of time and he performed ghusl during that time, the ghusl is correct even if blood is discharged after that.
When I do ghusl, I keep having doubts about whether I have wash a particular part of the body, and I keep repeating the washing numerous times. What should I do?
If you doubt that you missed one part of your body, you should redo it. However, if you doubt so often in such a way that they become excessive, then you do not need to pay attention to them.
If I said 'Alhamdulillah' after my ghusl, indicating that it has finished, however, after that I am unsure if I have washed a certain part, is it possible for me to just wash that part as a precaution?
Saying 'Alhamdulillah' doesn't have any effect in the finality of the ghusl, so you can continue it and complete it after that if there is a part that you have missed. However, you can consider the ghusl to be complete and valid if the doubt arose after finishing the ghusl.
