  • Hair stuck on face preventing water from reaching skin during ablution

    Someone told me that the presence of small hairs which are stuck in the facial hair or the head, like those that were cut from the beard, can prevent ablution and Ghusl (ritual bath) if they are not removed.

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykhs. I have read that if one passes wind during an obligatory Ghusl (ritual bath), then one must perform ablution after it; however, I suffer from chronic flatulence, and I frequently pass wind, so my ablution does not get invalidated by it, but what about my Ghusl?
