Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Q&A Unbraiding the Hair for Ghusl Not Necessary

We learned that during loosen every strand of hair must get wet.

What is the reason for women who have lots of small braids in their

hair plates? both African and Indian hair? Do we have to unbraid

then every time which can be really good, no, you don't have to

actually for women who have braids in their head, they've been given

a special concession by the, you know, by our Sharia, as long as

you can get water, right, as long as you can get the water into your

roots, right where the hair meets the head. Then even though you

can't get the water into the hair strands within the braids, and

that's fine. Men don't have this concession but mashallah women do

have that concession. So as long as you can make sure that water

gets down into the roots of all your hair, then that is fine.
