Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: What is the ruling on wiping the neck when wiping the head? Is this an exaggeration?
Answer:
It is not permissible to wipe the neck. This is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says: "And wipe your heads," and He did not say "and wipe your necks." So this is a bid'ah and an addition.
