The Ruling on Wiping the Neck During Ablution

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to wipe the neck during wudu' (ablution)?

Answer:
No, this is a bid'ah (religious innovation). One wipes only the head. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says: "And wipe your heads." The neck is not called a head. One wipes only the head, and wiping the neck is a bid'ah.
