Wiping over a head covering other than the turban
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I seek Allah’s forgiveness. Is it permissible to wipe over what is worn and covers the entire head of men, except for the eyes, which is difficult to remove in the winter season?
Answer:
No. I have not found any evidence regarding wiping over the turban, which is the fitrah (innate natural disposition). The default is washing. The default is wiping the head directly, as it is stated: “And wipe your heads.” The dispensation (rukhsah) was granted only for the turban. One does not extend the dispensation to things like it; the dispensation applies only to its specific case and is not extended by analogy, because that would be contrary to the default ruling.
