Does applying oil to the hair prevent water from reaching the skin?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. If I apply a large amount of oil to my hair, does that prevent water from reaching the skin? Please guide us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
That does not prevent water from reaching the skin, because what is required is for water to flow over the skin, and if it flows over it, that is sufficient. Oil and grease do not prevent it, because they do not have a substance that blocks the water.
