Someone asked Hazrat Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) whether a woman can perform ghusl (ritual bath) with a man. She replied, "Yes, as long as she is sensible (meaning, she is his wife). I have seen the time when I and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform ghusl from the same tub. First, we would pour water over our hands and clean them thoroughly, then we would pour water over our bodies."
