Question

If someone got dirty in several places on their body and wants to wash them, can they wash their entire body, or should they be careful to wash only the dirty areas?

Answer

One can wash the dirty areas, and if it is burdensome to wash several places, they can wash their entire body, intending not for the pleasure of washing but for the removal of dirt.
