The ruling on washing the head after intercourse

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it obligatory for a woman to wash her head after intercourse, or is it sufficient to wash only her body?

Answer:
She must wash her entire body, including her head, and saturate it with water. First, she saturates it with water. First, she performs istinja' (cleaning herself after relieving oneself), then she performs wudu' (the ablution for prayer) completely, then she pours water over her head until it is saturated, then she pours water over her body so that no part of her body remains without water reaching it. Yes.
