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

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

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)-  Masah  for 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 شيرج  بخلاف 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 Muhtaar  Pg 154    Vol 1 [H M Saeed]

قال والدى رحمه الله تعالى اذا دهن رجليه , و امرّ  الماء , 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 .
