· 23 Jumada I 1436 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

As I was sick my nose was constantly running. After istinja I wore my clothes and accidently my hand touched my hair trying to hold my nose. Is my hair impure.

Answer

If no physical impurity had come onto your hair, your hair is pure.

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