Question

Does Ghusl need to be repeated or started from the beginning if a person unintentionally swallows water flowing down from the head?

Answer

If Ghusl is being performed while fasting and a person swallows some water un-intentionally, this will not break the fast. If you are not fasting then swallowing water does not affect the ghusal either.

And Allah knows best.
