Washing one's hair after dyeing it for fardh ghusal

· 2 Muharram 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

My wife has dyed her hair on my wish. She is advised not to wash her hair for 3 days (she can do masah). How can she do Ghusal if needed? Can she do masah of her head while she washes her whole body during Ghusal?

Answer

If ghusal is fard upon her she will have to wash her entire hair. This is not a valid excuse to leave out the washing of the hair.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
