It was narrated that Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “I said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, I am a woman with tightly braided hair; should I undo it when performing Ghusl from Janabah?’ He said: ‘No, it is sufficient for you to pour three handfuls of water on your head, then pour water over your body.” (Sahih)
