Is it permissible to wash the head instead of wiping it during wudu'?

Question:
I seek forgiveness from Allah. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner asks: What is the ruling on wudu' if he washes his head instead of wiping it? Is the wudu' valid or not?

Answer:
No, he must wipe it, unless he combines the wudu' with a full bath. If he intends to perform the wudu' along with the full bath, then washing the head is sufficient. However, in a wudu' that is not accompanied by a full bath, it is not permissible for him to wash his head; because Allah did not command him to do so, but rather He said, "And wipe your heads." Therefore, wiping the head is necessary, even if he is in the sea and submerged in water; that is not sufficient. He must wipe his head in accordance with the saying of Allah the Exalted: . Yes.
