Rishama (ablution)
In Mandaeism, rishama (rišama) is a daily performed ablution ritual. Unlike the masbuta, it does not require the assistance of a priest.[1] Rishama (signing) is performed before prayers and involves washing the face and limbs while reciting specific prayers. It is performed daily, before sunrise, with hair covered and after evacuation of bowels, or before religious ceremonies.[2]

Tamasha (ṭamaša) is another type of ablution performed by Mandaeans.[1]
The ablution is comparable to wudu in Islam.
