حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَرَأْتُ فِي أَصْلِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ ابْنُ عَوْفٍ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْأَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي ضَمْضَمُ بْنُ زُرْعَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَفْتَانِي جُبَيْرُ بْنُ نُفَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْغُسْلِ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ ثَوْبَانَحَدَّثَهُمْ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَّهُمُ اسْتَفْتَوْا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَمَّا الرَّجُلُ فَلْيَنْشُرْ رَأْسَهُ فَلْيَغْسِلْهُ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ أُصُولَ الشَّعْرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَمَّا الْمَرْأَةُ فَلَا عَلَيْهَا أَنْ لَا تَنْقُضَهُ لِتَغْرِفْ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا ثَلَاثَ غَرَفَاتٍ بِكَفَّيْهَا .

They asked the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم about it. He (the Prophet) replied: As regards man, he should undo the hair of his head and wash it until the water should reach the roots of the hair. But there is no harm if the woman does not undo it (her hair) and pour three handfuls of water over her head.
