Summary
The obligatory bath remains valid if its pillars are fulfilled properly, namely the intention and spreading water over the whole body, including every strand of hair and its roots. The condition is that the hair must not prevent water from reaching all the hair and its roots. Qaza' itself is considered makruh, except where permitted for medical or similar purposes, and avoiding it is better.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sebagai kesimpulan, mandi wajib seseorang itu adalah sah sekiranya memiliki rambut yang bergaris atau bercorak selagimana keadaan rambut tersebut tidak menghalang air untuk sampai ke semua rambut dan pangkalnya.
