Washing the Hair in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second question of Fatwa No. ( 13595 )
Q2: The imam of a mosque told me that washing the hair in Ramadan , meaning during the day, breaks the fast, and the reason for this is that the pores of the hair allow water to enter. What is your answer?
A2: Washing the hair during the day while fasting does not break the fast, and water does not enter with the pores of the hair on the head. This opinion is incorrect, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to take a full bath while fasting. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
