Does the presence of very fine hair residue on the scalp after shaving prevent water from reaching the skin during ghusl from janabah, thereby necessitating the reperformance of prayers and ghusl?
In al- (ritual bath after sexual defilement), it is obligatory to make water reach all parts of the body. It is sufficient to have a strong presumption that water has reached all the skin, including the head. Any hair residue after the ghusl does not affect its validity and is not considered a barrier.
Similarly, the presence of a hair inside the ear does not affect the validity of the ghusl, because, according to many jurists, the inner parts of the body are not obligatory to wash. If the hair is on the outer part of the ear, it is most likely incidental and appeared after the ghusl, and any event that could have occurred at two different times is attributed to the more recent one.
