Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it obligatory for a woman to wipe her head? And if the hair is long, what does she do?
The Shaykh : It is obligatory for a woman to wipe her head in the ablution for prayer and to wash it in the full ritual bath from major ritual impurity and menstruation. The wiping in the ablution for prayer is from the front of the head to the back, from the roots of the hair. As for what hangs down from it, it is not obligatory to wipe it, because the wiping is only up to the limit of the hair roots. So whatever is on the neck or below, it is not obligatory to wipe it.
