I need to ask you something important and personal
I am Alhamdulillah Hanafi and my wife is Ahle-hadees, sometime it creates differences on different matter for this I have a few question

Answer :
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
You state your wife is Ahle hadeeth and does not follow a madhab. It is imperative you explain to her the importance in following a specific Madhab, otherwise the individual would only be following his/her desires.
You may refer your wife to the following books for an in-depth understanding on the issue of Taqleed.
1- The legal status of following a Mazhab by Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani

2- Differences of the Imams by Sheikhul Hadeeth Moulana Zakariyya (Rahmatullahi Alayhi)

According to the Hanafi madhab, gargling and clearing the nose with water is Fardh in ghusl. According to some madhabs they are Sunnah in ghusl. Even though your wife is not Hanafi, she still should gargle and clear the nose. Moreover, we don’t see why gargling and clearing the nose with water should be a problem, as there is no difficulty and inconvenience in doing so during ghusl.[1]
After menstruation, ghusl is compulsory upon the individual[2]. Allah Ta’ala says in the Quran,
وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ جُنُبًا فَاطَّهَّرُوا
And if you are in a state of Janaba(impurity), purify yourself(bathe your whole body)(AlMaaidah ayah 6)
Therefore, there is no difference of opinion amongst the Ulama and Madhabs that Ghusl is compulsory after menstruation.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
