A Woman Wiping Over Her Khimar During Wudu'

The questioner : Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : Peace be upon you.

The questioner : Honorable Shaykh, yes, a woman performed Hajj and 'Umrah. Yes, and every time she performed wudu', she wiped over her head while wearing the covering. Yes, is this correct, or is it considered an error or something? Yes.

The Shaykh : I say that some scholars hold that it is permissible for a woman to wipe over her khimar. The connection was lost. Her head, and based on this, the ritual purity of this woman is valid. Yes.

The questioner : Valid, yes, because some people said, no, it is an error.

The Shaykh : No, some scholars hold that it is not valid.

The questioner : I am afraid that hair might fall out.

The Shaykh : No, no, this is an error. Her fear that hair might fall out is not correct, because if a person’s hair falls out without his intention, he owes nothing.

The questioner : Her Hajj or her 'Umrah, is it considered good?

The Shaykh : If Allah wills, it is good.
