Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The questioner : How is the Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner : Our esteemed Shaykh, regarding the full ritual bath, is rubbing among its conditions?
The Shaykh : Rubbing varies from person to person.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And from woman to woman.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And from one woman's condition to another.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : As for the first matter, from person to person, it is whether one is hairy.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Or a woman is hairy.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Such that his body hair is thick, so that merely pouring water does not penetrate the skin covered by that hair; in this case, rubbing is obligatory.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And regarding a woman and one of her conditions, if she wants to perform the full ritual bath from major ritual impurity.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Even if she is not hairy.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : She may leave her hair uncombed.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : But if she performs the full ritual bath for menstruation.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : She must comb her hair. This is the answer to what you asked, and more than what you asked.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. I mean, I say, our Shaykh, regarding a woman who is not hairy, rubbing is not required of her.
The Shaykh : Except in one case.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Except in the case of menstruation, where she must comb the hair of her head.
The questioner : And the whole body, Shaykh, regarding rubbing?
The Shaykh : We have taken the answer for that.
The questioner : Excuse me, Shaykh, so I did not grasp the answer.
The Shaykh : My brother, a woman is either hairy.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Or not hairy.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And I think you understood the answer.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : If she is hairy, she must rub.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Otherwise, rubbing is not obligatory upon her.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : But this woman for whom rubbing is not obligatory.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Either she performs the full ritual bath from major ritual impurity.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Then the ruling is as we mentioned.
The questioner: Yes.
