In Islamic fiqh, Hadath-Akbar refers to a state of major ritual impurity that requires the complete ablution (al-ghusl) before one can pray; circumambulate the Kaaba; touch, carry, or recite the Quran; or stay at the mosque. Five actions place one in the state of Hadath-Akbar, including discharge of al-mani (sperm) owing to stimulation while asleep or awake, sexual intercourse with or without ejaculation, and menstruation.

The complete ablution requires that one wash the entire body with water.
