The presence of a barrier on a woman’s hair during the full ritual bath and wiping over the head covering

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it sufficient?
The Shaykh:
In any case, there must be nothing on the woman’s head that prevents the water from reaching it. The water must come into direct contact with the hair; there must be no barrier on the hair, whether she places a covering on it or puts on it something of what women now put on their hair. This is not permissible. The hair must be free of any barrier, except for what was mentioned earlier regarding wiping over leather socks: if she is wearing a tightly secured head covering, tied under her chin, she may wipe over it, just as a man wipes over his turban.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it sufficient?
The Shaykh:
For minor ritual impurity, yes. But for major ritual impurity, menstruation, and post-natal bleeding, she does not wipe over anything. Yes.
