The Difference Between the Ghusl of a Man and the Ghusl of a Woman from Janabah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Sister Su'ad sent these questions, saying: Honorable Shaykh, is there a difference between the full ritual bath of a man and the full ritual bath of a woman for major ritual impurity? And does a woman have to unbraid her hair, or is it sufficient for her to pour three ladles of water over it? And what is the difference between the full ritual bath for major ritual impurity and the full ritual bath for menstruation?

Answer:
There is no difference between the ghusl of a man and the ghusl of a woman from janabah; each of them washes his or her entire body with water for the purpose of removing the major state of ritual impurity. Therefore, there is no difference between them in the manner of performing the ghusl. A woman does not unbind her hair for the ghusl of janabah because she does so repeatedly and it is burdensome; she only unbinds her hair when performing the ghusl for menstruation. Yes.
