Making masah of the head after a hair transplant

· 17 Rabiʻ I 1447 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

From my understanding, the hair transplant treatment is permissible. After having it done, one is required not to let water touch the scalp for about 3 days. How then should one do masah?

Answer

One may pass one's wet hands over quarter of the head where the treatment was not done.

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