QUESTION:
If a ladies hair falls from its root while she is reading Salaah, will her hair be regarded as impure and will she have to repeat her Salaah?
ANSWER:
In order for the stickiness (attached to the root of the hair) to be considered as Najis, it is necessary that the contents reach such an amount that it is able to flow. Since the stickiness (at the root of the hair) is so minimal in quantity that it will not cause the clothing to become Napaak nor will one be required to repeat Salaah if one’s hair falls off the head in Salaah.
( قَوْلُهُ وَشَعْرُ الْإِنْسَانِ ) الْمُرَادُ بِهِ مَا أُبِينَ مِنْهُ حَيًّا وَإِلَّا فَطَهَارَةُ مَا عَلَى الْإِنْسَانِ مُسْتَغْنِيَةٌ عَنْ الْبَيَانِ —وَالْأَوْلَى إسْقَاطُ حَيًّا .
وَعَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي نَجَاسَةِ شَعْرِ الْآدَمِيِّ وَظُفْرِهِ وَعَظْمِهِ رِوَايَتَانِ وَالصَّحِيحُ الطَّهَارَةُ سِرَاجٌ ( قَوْلُهُ غَيْرُ الْمَنْتُوفِ ) أَمَّا الْمَنْتُوفُ فَنَجِسٌ بَحْرٌ ، وَالْمُرَادُ رُءُوسُهُ الَّتِي فِيهَا الدُّسُومَةُ .
أَنَّ مَا خَرَجَ مِنْ الْجِلْدِ مَعَ الشَّعْرِ إنْ لَمْ يَبْلُغْ مِقْدَارَ الظُّفْرِ لَا يُفْسِدُ الْمَاءَ تَأَمَّلْ (رد المحتار ص207 ج1)
