The ruling on extending the washing of the face to the head during wudu'

The questioner : What? Some people wash part of their head during wudu' and say this is to complete the washing of the face.

The Shaykh : But a lot, or is it a small amount such that one is not certain he has washed the entire face except by doing so? And he thinks this bald spot is part of the face. In any case, praise be to Allah, may Allah protect your faces. The face extends from the hairline of the forehead to the bottom of the beard, and from ear to ear in width.
