The manner in which a woman wipes her head during ablution

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. How does a woman wipe her head during ablution? Does she wipe it the same way a man does? Or does she direct it to something else? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Yes, she wipes it the same way a man does, and as came in the Sunnah, that when a Muslim wants to wipe his head during ablution, he does as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did, by placing his hands, wet with water, on the front of his head, then moving them to the back of his head, then returning them to the place where he started. This is the manner of wiping the head for both the man and the woman.
