Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah. Talbīd is applying something to the head, such as honey or the like, to keep the hair together so that it does not become disheveled. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did this during his Hajj because he had resolved not to exit his state of ihram until the Day of Sacrifice. He had entered the state of ihram on the twenty-fifth of Dhul-Qa'dah, so he would remain in his state of ihram for fifteen days. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) applied oil to his head so that it would not be disheveled and so that it would not cause him discomfort.
In it is evidence that the henna a woman applies to her head is permissible, and that if she performs wudu and wipes over it, there is no harm. This is the correct analogy, meaning she is not required to remove it from her head, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform wudu and wipe his head while it was oiled. Also, the purification of the head is a reduced form of wiping. And because the Sunnah has established the permissibility of a woman wiping over her head covering, even though it is separate, wiping over the oiled head is even more permissible. The Sunnah is also authentic regarding a man wiping over his turban, which is separate and prevents water from reaching the head, which indicates that there is no issue with this.
The women used to ask a lot about this issue, and this is the answer: there is no harm in a woman having something on her head that she uses to adorn herself and that prevents water from reaching it, and it does not harm her.
In this hadith, there is also evidence regarding the collaring of the sacrificial animal. Collaring the sacrificial animal is placing a collar around its neck in which sandals are hung, and also the hands of worn-out water skins are hung, so that it is known that this is a sacrificial animal, and it is respected and followed so that it can be eaten from.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to collar the sacrificial camels and sheep, and he used to slit the humps of the camels. Slitting the humps of the camels is cutting the sides of their humps until blood flows out, and the blood flows over the hair and coagulates on the hair, so it is known that this camel, for example, is a sacrificial animal, and it is respected and followed. As for the sheep, they are not slit because they do not have what would prevent the slit from reaching the bone.
