Is it obligatory for a woman to unbind her hair when performing the ghusl for menstruation?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding a woman who is menstruating, when she performs the ghusl for menstruation, is she required to unbind her hair when performing the ghusl?

Answer:
No, in the case of menstruation, because it recurs, she does not unbind it for every ghusl from janabah (major ritual impurity), because this recurs and is difficult for her. As for menstruation, yes, she unbinds it, because menstruation is not a frequent occurrence in the near term, but rather after a period of time. This is when she unbinds her head, yes.
