Is wiping over the cloth wrapped around the head sufficient?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. You say: We place a hair wrap that resembles a turban. Is it sufficient to wipe only over the upper part of it during the ablution?

Answer:
It is not permissible to wipe over a head wrap or over any covering on the head; rather, one must wipe the head directly, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted: . This is except when a man has a turban on his head, in which case he may wipe over it if it meets the conditions: it must cover most of the head and be tied or have a knot. Or, if a woman has a headscarf wrapped under her chin and secured on her head, she may wipe over it. As for other coverings and wraps, one does not wipe over them, except for bandages applied to wounds or casts on fractures, over which one wipes for as long as they remain, out of necessity. Yes.
