The ruling on combing the hair of a person in ihram during the state of ihram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : A woman wants to perform the sacrifice, but she is unable to leave her head uncombed for days; because most of it might fall out. Is it permissible for her to comb it while trying to prevent it from falling out, and sometimes she may have an obligatory ghusl (full ritual bath)?
Answer : The answer is yes. If it is difficult for her to remain without combing for ten days, she may comb it, but gently. If some of it falls out from combing unintentionally, she owes nothing. However, there is a matter regarding...
...multiple sacrifices in one house. How does this woman sacrifice if she has a caretaker for the house? If she has a caretaker in her house, the caretaker’s udhiyah (Id sacrifice) suffices for her. But sometimes she may be the caretaker of the house herself, with no man in the house; she is the one who manages the house because she has no men. In that case, her udhiyah is in its proper place, and she is required to avoid taking hair, nails, and skin. But she may comb her hair if it is difficult for her to leave it uncombed, and the combing must be gentle. Yes.
