Q As-salamu `alaykum. I have been suffering from asthma for several years. My husband knew about my illness and had willingly agreed to marry me. I suffer from increased illness (breathing issues) when I do ritual bathing (ghusl) at night/dawn (especially after I wet my hair, even with keeping my braids on). So, whenever my husband calls me (for intimacy) he asks me whether I can perform the bath before Fajr and my answers are almost always negative. So, he refrains himself, and it sometimes occurs that we live celibate lives for almost a month (he works at another place). My husband doesn't say anything to me but I feel that he gets disappointed every time I tell him about my inability. My husband is patient and considerate, but I feel that the lack of intimate relations is causing more and more problems between us. Points to note: we have a little kid, and we live in a joint family. So, we feel that it is only night time that is convenient for us to be intimate. I can bathe without wetting my hair at night, and that doesn’t cause severe problems. But I know that ritual bathing includes pouring water over one's head. My question is: will it be possible for me to do my ritual bathing without wetting my hair at night, so that I can pray Fajr?
