Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is there a distinction between head hair and beard hair regarding the obligation and recommendation of reaching water to the inner hair?
Answer:
No, there is no distinction. If the beard is thick, then in wudu, washing the outer surface is sufficient. This is in wudu; washing the outer surface is sufficient, and combing the water through the inner hair is a recommended practice (sunnah). As for the full ritual bath (ghusl), the water must reach the inside of the hair and the roots of the hair in the case of major ritual impurity (janabah).
