As salamu alaikum,

If one puts olive oil, or coconut oil in their hair, is wudu going to be OK since the oil covers the hair and when you do masah of head water may not completely get to hair? Jazakallah



In the Name of Allah, the Inspirer of Truth.
Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

Yes, Wudhu is complete, as oil is not impervious to water i.e. it does not
act as a barrier.

And Allah knows Best
