Ghusl Valid With Oil In Hair

· 2 Muharram 1446 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If a lady performed Ghusl with hair oil and serum in her hair, and the water did not penetrate through the oil, is her Ghusl valid?

Answer

Yes, Ghusl will be valid. It is not necessary that the oil (on the hair) is totally removed when making Ghusl with the proviso that water reaches all the hair.

ALLAH TA’ALA IN HIS INFINITE KNOWLEDGE KNOWS BEST!

How is ghusl (the obligatory bath) performed?

“A1) One should refrain from making Tilaawat by the deceased before Ghusl is executed due to the deceased being in a state of Najaasat (due to death). A2) If one is not in the same room as the deceased, then one may make Tilaawat…”
