Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel who said, ‘I asked Abu Abd Allah -asws about what the woman should do regarding the hair and the plaits (curls). So he -asws said: ‘She did not happened to have combed these. But rather she happened to have gathered it’. Then he -asws described four possibilities, then said: ‘They should put more effort in the washing’.

One of them deliberates to the braid of wool, combing it by plaiting with the hair. Then she applies it with the perfume, then make a thin cloth to be upon it. Then she ties it with a pin upon her head. Then she is hit by the sexual impurity’. So he -asws said: ‘The former women, rather, were combing their front hair. So when she has to wash (from the sexual impurity), instruct her that she would soak her head from the water, and squeeze them until they are soaked.
So when (her hair) is soaked, then there is no problem upon her’. قَالَ قُلْتُ فَالْحَائِضُ قَالَ تَنْقُضُ الْمَشْطَ نَقْضاً . He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘So (what about) the menstruating woman?’ He -asws said: ‘She should undo for the combing, with an undoing’.
