Washing with Henna in Her Hair

Question
What is the ruling for someone who washes while having henna or dye in her hair?
Answer

I say, with Allah's guidance: It suffices for her as a wash; because henna or dye is merely a color, it does not prevent water from reaching the hair. Also, removing it would cause her hardship. See: Sharh al-Wiqayah, p. 91-92. And Allah knows best.
