Is it a condition that a woman should untie her locks while making Ghusl(ritual bath) ?

Answered as per Shafi'i Fiqh by Darul Iftaa Jordan
Is it a condition that a woman should untie her locks while making Ghusl(ritual bath) ?

Answer:
Ghusl from Janabah(ritual impurity), or menstruation obligates that water reaches the roots of the hair in order for the Ghusl to be valid, but if it doesn`t, then hair locks must be untied for water to reach them, and for Ghusl to become valid.

This answer was collected from the official government Iftaa Department of Jordan.
