It is not necessary to untie braids for ghusl after janabah
Hadith 107
أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، نا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ قَالَ: كَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو يَأْمُرُ النِّسَاءَ إِذَا اغْتَسَلْنَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ أَنْ يَنْقُضْنَ رُءُوسَهُنَّ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ: لَقَدْ كَلَّفَهُنَّ تَعَبًا، أَفَلَا يَأْمُرُهُنَّ أَنْ يَحْلِقْنَ رُءُوسَهُنَّ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَغْتَسِلُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الْإِنَاءِ الْوَاحِدِ فَمَا أَزِيدُ عَلَى ثَلَاثِ إِفْرَاغَاتٍ ".
Ubaid bin Umair narrated, Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) used to instruct women that when they performed ghusl (ritual bath) after janabah, they should untie their hair. When this reached Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she said: He has put them in great hardship; why does he not just order them to shave their heads? I used to perform ghusl with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) from a single vessel, and I would only pour three handfuls of water.
