Is it obligatory for a woman to unbind her hair during wudu'?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it obligatory for a woman to unbind her hair during wudu'?
Answer:
It is not sufficient to wipe the surface of the hair; it is sufficient to wash the surface of the hair, even in the case of janabah (major ritual impurity), one washes the surface of the hair. Unbinding it is a matter of scholarly disagreement. Unbinding it in the ghusl (full ritual bath) for hayd (menstruation) is the point of disagreement.
