The questioner : Her other question: She says she heard that combing the hair is not permissible during menstruation, nor is cutting the nails or bathing, so is this correct or not?
The Shaykh : This is not correct. A menstruating woman is permitted to cut her nails and comb her head. She is also permitted to take a full ritual bath to remove major ritual impurity, for example, if she has a wet dream while menstruating, she takes a full ritual bath to remove the major ritual impurity, or if her husband has intimate contact with her other than intercourse and she releases semen, she takes a full ritual bath to remove the major ritual impurity.
So this opinion that has become widespread among some women, that she does not take a full ritual bath, does not comb her hair, does not touch her head, and does not cut her nails, has no basis in the Shari'ah, as far as I know.
The questioner : Yes.
