Mandi wajib dan wuduk dengan rambut ber’dye’

Summary
Hair dye may be used if it meets three conditions: it allows water to penetrate, it does not harm the skin, and it is made from pure and halal materials not mixed with impurities. Hair is among the parts that must be washed in the obligatory bath or ablution, so water must reach the hair and scalp in the obligatory bath. If something prevents water from wetting the hair, the obligatory bath and ablution are not valid.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Rambut merupakan bahagian yang wajib dibasuh ketika mandi wajib atau wuduk.
