Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Lice eggs do not necessarily constitute a barrier unless they are so numerous as to prevent water from reaching the skin, in which case their removal is necessary for the ablution () to be valid. If their removal is difficult, the one afflicted by them is excused and their ghusl is valid, as this falls under what is forgiven due to the difficulty of avoiding it.
