Wiping over the Khimar and Henna

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
How does a woman wipe over the khimar that is attached to the henna? Does she wipe over the khimar or over…?

Answer:
A woman does not wipe over the khimar unless it is secured by being wrapped under the chin. The khimar that is secured and wrapped under the chin is wiped over, just as a man wipes over his turban. For this reason, when the jurists mentioned the types of wiping, they said, “And over the khimars of women that are wrapped under their throats.” As for a khimar that is not secured, it is not permissible to wipe over it. As for the henna on the head, it does not prevent the validity of wiping over it, because Muslim women have continued to use henna and place it on their heads, and they were not ordered to remove it when performing wudu. Also, because they need it to remain. Yes.
