How a woman wipes her head during wudu'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : And this questioner says: We ask you, Honorable Shaykh, to clarify how a woman wipes her head during wudu', given that her hair is long. How does she bring her hand back from the back to the front? Sometimes her hair is tied up, so what does she do in that case? And what does she do if she has a covering on her head? Does she wipe over it or remove it? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer : As for the second point, if she has a covering on her head, she removes the covering and wipes the hair. As for the method, it is the same as the method for a man wiping his head: she starts from the front until she reaches the limit of the neck, to the point where the hair grows. As for what falls below that, it is not obligatory to wipe it. In that case, there is no difficulty in the wiping.
