حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي سُوَاءَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، " أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَغْسِلُ رَأْسَهُ بِالْخِطْمِيِّ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ يَجْتَزِئُ بِذَلِكَ ، وَلَا يَصُبُّ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ " .

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
256. Commentary:
This narration is weak; therefore, when washing the head with soap, shampoo, and similar items, the use of water is indispensable. Attaining purification (taharah) is not possible without water.
