Woman applying oil to her hair during iddat
Question
Can a woman who has a habit of regularly applying coconut oil in her hair apply oil during her iddat period?
Answer
If she applies the oil as a treatment, it will be permissible. If she is not applying it as a treatment, it will not be permissible during iddat.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
