Does touching hair for the sake of desire invalidate the ablution?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : No, touching hair does not.
Answer : I mean, touching hair does not invalidate the ablution, just as touching a woman does not invalidate it, unless it is for the sake of desire. It was previously stated that it invalidates the ablution if it is for the sake of desire. This is a man who did not touch the woman, he did not touch the skin, but he touched his wife's hair, running his hand through it with strong desire, but nothing came out. Does his ablution become invalid or not? It does not become invalid, even if it was for the sake of desire. Why? They said because hair is considered detached. Just as if he touched her head covering for the sake of desire, his ablution would not become invalid, so it is the same if he touched the hair, because hair is considered detached. And therefore, there is no life in it. There is no life in it. If someone cut it, would you say, "Ah, no, or yes?" Huh? You have not answered me. What do you say, "Ah"? So, it is detached; life has not been granted to it.
