The ruling on wiping over what covers the head other than the turban

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to wipe over what is worn and covers the entire head, except for the eyes, for men, when it is difficult to remove in the winter season?

Answer:
No, this has not been transmitted. Wiping is only permitted over the turban. The default is washing; the default is wiping the head directly. This is the default, as in the verse, "And wipe your heads." The dispensation was granted only for the turban, so one is restricted to the place of the dispensation. The dispensation applies only to its specific location and is not extended by analogy to other items, because that would be contrary to the default ruling. Yes.
