The ruling on wiping the head during the full ritual bath for major ritual impurity without reaching the scalp
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
In his third and final question, he asks: Is it permissible for a woman, during the full ritual bath, to wipe her head three times or to sprinkle it completely with water up to the scalp?
The Shaykh:
Wiping is only in the ablution, and it is done once; one wipes the head once in the ablution. As for the full ritual bath, the head must be washed; it must be washed and submerged in water until the outer and inner parts of the hair are saturated, so that no part of the head remains without water reaching it. Yes.
The questioner:
The extent of the wiped area in the ablution, O Shaykh, is up to the tips of the hair.
The Shaykh:
The head is wiped generally from the front of the head to the back of the neck. Yes.
The questioner:
Excluding the hair that hangs down from a woman’s head.
The Shaykh:
Or what was asked for clarification. Yes.
