Sunnahs and manners of applying oil and combing hair

 ٭Oiling hair frequently is useful especially for intellectuals as it keeps dandruff away, refreshes the brain and builds strong memory.

 ٭It is stated in a blessed Hadees: The one who oils without reciting            ‘بِسۡـمِ اللّٰه’, 70 Satans accompany him.

(‘Amal-ul-Yawm wal-Laylah, vol. 1, pp. 327, Hadees 173)

 ٭Before applying oil, recite ‘بِسۡـمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحۡـمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ’ and pour some oil onto the palm of left hand out of the bottle etc. Then first oil the eyebrow of right eye, then of left eye, then eyelashes of right eye, then of the left eye, and then oil hair. If oiling beard, begin with the hair grown between lower lip and chin.

 ٭Begin with the right side while combing. Umm-ul-Mu`mineen, Sayyidatuna ‘Aaishah Siddiqah رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی عَـنْـهَا has said: The Holy Rasool صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰى عَـلَيْهِ وَاٰلِـهٖ وَسَـلَّم liked to begin doing everything with the right side; even wearing shoes, combing, and attaining purity. (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 1, pp. 81, Hadees 168)

 ٭It is Mustahab to apply oil and fragrance for Jumu’ah Salah. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 1, pp. 774)

 ٭It is impermissible and sinful to comb the hair of beard or head of the deceased. (Durr-e-Mukhtar, vol. 3, pp. 104)
