My doctor is prescribing me birth control patches which I have to put on my skin. So I was wondering will my gusl be valid with that on my skin? May 5, 2023 by Hasan mahdi If it prevents water from reaching the skin (and there is no wound under it) then the ghusl is not valid. You would have to do tayammum in this case. One should seek other alternatives for birth control (unless this method is a medical necessity). Sayed Mohammad Baqer Qazwini englishghusl
