validity of ablutions (e.g. the water being pure and not having been
usurped) are also applicable for the validity ofceremonial bath.
However, in the case of bath it is not necessary that the body. should
be washed downwards from the head. Moreover, it is not necessary in the
case ofsequence bath that the body should be washed immediately before
washing the head and the neck. There is no need, therefore, in ones
waiting for some time after washing oneshead and neck and then washing
ones body. It is not necessary that one should wash ones head, neck and
body in one instance. For example it is possible if a person washeshis
head first and then washes his neck after the lapse of some time. In
case, however, a man who cannot control his urine or faeces but can
control them for so much timethat he could be able to offer prayers
after bath then he should take bath at once and offer his prayers
immediately.

bath-keeper (of public bath-house) without knowing whether he is
agreeable to it his bath is void, even though he maylater make the
bath-keeper agreeable to this agreement.
٣٨٨. If the bath-keeper is agreed to the bath
being taken on credit but the person taking bath intends not to pay the
wages to him or to pay him out of the propertywhich has been acquired
illegally his bath is void.
٣٨٩. If a person pays to the bath-keeper out of
money whose Khums (١/٥ of the yearly profit see: Article ١١٦٠) has not
been paid by him he commits an illegal actbut apparently his bath is in
order and he remains responsible to pay Khums to those persons who are
entitled to it.
