Is masah for wudhu valid if a person uses gel on his hair.

Answer:

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

1)-Masahfor wudhu will be valid if a person uses gel on his hair, as long as the effect of the gel is similar to that of oil upon the head .

2)-However , if the effect of the gel on the head is more thicker , similar to grease or lard [cooking fat] , then in this case the masah will not be valid .

قوله ” و كذا دهن” اى كزيت و شيرجبخلاف نحو شحم و سمن جامد “قوله و دسومة” هى اثر الدهن قال فى الشرنبلالية قال المقدسى : و فى الفتاوى دهن رجليه ثم توضأ و امرّ على رجليه و لم يقبل الماء للدسومة جاز لوجود غسل الرجلين.

Radul MuhtaarPg 154Vol 1 [H M Saeed]

قال والدى رحمه الله تعالى اذا دهن رجليه , و امرّالماء , و لم يصل لمكان الدسومات , جاز الوضوء كما فى ” خزانة الفتاوى ” و فى ” مجموع النوازل ” : الغسل يقتضى جواز اسالة الماء على الاعضاء دون الازاق , فلو دهن اعضاء الوضوء , ثم سال عليها الملء , و لم يلتزق عليها جاز .
