Q:
Does the woman who has long, unbraided hair come under the same ruling as the woman who has braided hair when performing Ghusl (ritual bath) following major ritual impurity, or does she have to wash all of her hair?
A:
A woman who is Junub (in a state of major ritual impurity) or who has finished her menstrual period must wash all of her body and hair with water, with the intention of Taharah (ritual purification), whether her hair is long or short, braided or unbraided.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
