Water must reach the skin and the roots of the hair when washing the head after major ritual impurity (janabah). However, if it is proven that washing her head harms a woman, based on her experience or a doctor's advice, she is permitted to wipe it instead of washing it, for there is no hardship in religion, and it does not burden one with what is beyond capacity.
