Hair Cream and Its Effect on Ablution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second question of Fatwa No. ( 18458 )
Q 2: There are many types of (hair cream) so does what is applied to the hair, such as cream and the like, if its substance is sticky, prevent the water of
ablution from reaching the hair, and what is the ruling on ablution in that case ? Please inform us, may you be rewarded, if Allah wills.
A 2: If the cream has a thickness that prevents water from reaching the skin, it must be removed when intending to perform ablution. As for cream that does not have such thickness, it does not affect the ablution. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
