Washing the roots of a woman's hair in the ghusl for janabah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: If a woman in a state of janabah wants to perform ghusl, does she have to wash the roots of her hair, or is it sufficient to wipe it and wash the rest?

Answer:
No, no, it is necessary to saturate the hair; it is necessary to saturate it with water so that the water reaches its roots. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Under every hair is sexual impurityتحت كل شعرة جنابة
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 106Da'if (Darussalam)
Under every hair is sexual impurityتحت كل شعرة جنابة

Therefore, the water must be made to reach the roots of the hair, and the head must be rubbed with water until it is thoroughly wet. Yes.
