Performing ghusul with a Hairsystem on

22 Feb 2022 Ref-No#: 4343

Due to hair thinning and a failed hair transplant surgery, I turned to Hairsystem (Toupee) as an option. Hairsystems are attached to one’s head by an adhesive or an elastic band for a maximum of two or three weeks. It also appears to be a net through which water can pass, but due to the presence of some form of glue, the water may not reach the entire head. Now regardless of whether it is permitted or not to use human hair as a toupee, would the ghusal be valid, because the water may not hit ALL of the scalp due to glue resin etc?

Answer

Assalāmuʿalaykum Wa Raḥmatullāhi Wa Barakātuh

In such an instance, the Ghusl will not be valid since the requirement for the validity of Ghusl is that water should reach every single hair of the body.
