The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is it necessary for the turban on which wiping is valid to be knotted and have a tail?
The Shaykh:
It is necessary to knot it, but not to have a tail. It is not necessary for it to be knotted or to have a tail. As for the plain cap that has neither a tail nor a knot, one does not wipe over it. As for the turban that is knotted and has a tail, that is more complete. And if it has a tail, there is no harm, or if it is only knotted, there is no harm; one wipes over it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says:
The Shaykh:
Therefore, they say: "And wiping over a knotted turban or one with a tail." Yes.
