Yes, you can perform ghusl (ritual bath) without brushing your teeth.
Ghusl is valid as long as its requisites are met, which primarily involve making the intention and ensuring water reaches all parts of the body. The referenced text confirms that actions like brushing teeth before ghusl do not invalidate it. The core requirements are intention and the thorough washing of the body. Whether you brush your teeth before, after, or not at all has no bearing on the validity of the ghusl.
Here's a breakdown:
- Requisites of Ghusl: The fundamental elements for a valid ghusl are intention and washing the entire body with water.
- Non-Essential Actions: Brushing teeth falls outside the scope of these essential requirements. It's a recommended act of cleanliness, but not a condition for ghusl.
- Sequence is Flexible: You can perform ghusl and then brush your teeth, or vice versa. The order doesn't affect the validity of the ritual bath.
Therefore, focusing on the essential components of ghusl – intention and thorough washing – ensures its validity, irrespective of whether you brush your teeth beforehand.
