Question
Does the prohibition of touching one's hair during prayer refer only to the hair on the scalp?
Answer
Hello
Yes, because that is a place of perspiration. Unlike the hair of the beard.
Hair on other parts of the body is problematic because the flesh itself is a covered area that requires washing after touching.
