Females covering their hair when going to the toilet
Question
Is it sunnah for females to cover their head when entering the toilet or their head and all the hair should be covered. The reason is that a cap or turban is generally kept by the bathroom and used to cover the head but the bottom of the hair and tips are exposed.
Answer
Females should be covering their hair at all times, not only in the toilet.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
