Question:
He says: My mother puts henna on her head and ties it with a cloth, but when she prays, she combines Zuhr and 'Asr because she cannot wipe over her head during wudu'. Is her action valid? And does she wipe over the cloth?
Answer:
Her action is invalid. There is no power or strength except with Allah. She should remove the cloth when performing wudu'. She removes the cloth and wipes over her head, even if there is henna on it; that does not contradict the ruling. She wipes over her head and does not combine. It is not permissible for her to combine. She prays every prayer in its time. She removes the cloth and wipes over her head, even if there is henna on it. If she wants, she can put the cloth back on after wiping; there is no harm in that. Yes.
