Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding the ghusl for janabah, and the fact that the braid is on the back, is it sufficient to pour water over it, or is it necessary to separate it? Knowing that the braid is not affected by water.
Answer:
It is not sufficient to just pour water over it; rather, you must wipe it. If you pour water over it, that is not sufficient. It is necessary to wipe it and move your hand over it, in accordance with what has been reported. So you wipe over it during the ghusl by moving your hand over it. Yes.
