	The Islamic texts at the core of the tradition evince a sense of ritual cleanliness ~~that~~ is divorced from the modern theory of germ-based illness. Certain actions, such as answering the call of nature or interacting with dogs, are ritually unclean and require ritual cleansing (which should be with water (without the necessity of soap) but can also be with dirt if water is unavailable); meanwhile, other actions which from a modern perspective would be dirty, such as interacting with the saliva of the prophet, are seen as clean owing to their ritual purity.		The Islamic texts at the core of the tradition evince a sense of ritual cleanliness. Much of it is healthy practise even today, and especially by the standards of the time. Others traditions provide guidance which is divorced from the modern theory of germ-based illness, even in some cases potentially dangerous (particuarly narrations concerning the well of Buda'ad). Certain actions, such as answering the call of nature or interacting with dogs, are ritually unclean and require ritual cleansing, which should be with water (without the necessity of soap) but can also be with dirt if water is unavailable; meanwhile, other actions which from a modern perspective would be dirty, such as interacting with the saliva of the prophet, are seen as clean owing to their ritual purity. Others are harmless but of no obvious benefit such as dipping a house fly in a drink if it lands in it.

			Ablutions (wudu) five times each day with water is instructed before prayers. Washing the relevant body parts with water is also instructed in other circumstances such as following a call of nature or urination. If not available, pebbles, sand or earth may be used. A full body wash (ghusl, ritual bath) is to be performed after sexual intercourse, orgasm or completion of a menstral cycle, as well as less common events such as touching a dead body. It is also recommended before certain ritual events such as Friday prayers, Eid, or entering the state of Ihram before pilgrimage.

He then washed his face three times, then washed his right arm up to the elbow three times, then washed his left arm like that, then wiped his head; then washed his right foot up to the ankle three times, then washed his left foot like that, and then said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) perform ablution like this ablution of mine. Then the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: He who performs ablution like this ablution of mine and then stood up (for prayer) and offered two rak'ahs of prayer without allowing his thoughts to be distracted, all his previous sins are expiated.

			The Islamic texts at the core of the tradition evince a sense of ritual cleanliness that is divorced from the modern theory of germ-based illness. Certain actions, such as answering the call of nature or interacting with dogs, are ritually unclean and require ritual cleansing (which should be with water (without the necessity of soap) but can also be with dirt if water is unavailable); meanwhile, other actions which from a modern perspective would be dirty, such as interacting with the saliva of the prophet, are seen as clean owing to their ritual purity.
