Commentary
1. The meaning of "bath area" is the actual location of performing Ghusl or the like, meaning a tub, or shower, or bath house.
2. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ forbade combing hair daily, with the intention to discourage excessive attention to beautification and vanity. Some scholars indicated that while this — in its apparent wording — applies to women as
well as men, it is more stressed in the case of men, since beautification is less restricted for women than men. Meaning, that it is more discouraged for men to comb their hair every day than women.
