The Description of the Turban Over Which Wiping Is Performed

Question:
And the author of the Shaykh Abu 'Abdullah, what is the description of the turban? Is it the one whose end is the Sudanese turban?
Answer:
It is not specified as the Sudanese or the Omani or any other specific type; the important thing is that it conforms to the description found in the hadiths, as the Arabs were wearing it in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). They described it as being wound around the head, layer upon layer, until it covers most of the head. They call these layers *akwar* (coils), the coils of the turban are wound tightly, and it has a tail (*dhaw'ab*) from the back or a band wound under the man's chin. This is the turban such that when you look at it, you find it covering the head or most of the head. If it is in this form, it is the one over which wiping is performed.
And the turbans now in the Maghreb, the Shnubi, the Sudanese, and the Omani, all of them wear turbans now. But we do not look at the turban of Sudan or the turban of the Maghreb or the turban of such-and-such or the Shnubi; we look at what was transmitted in the description of the turban, the words of the scholars regarding it. So whatever conforms to the words of the scholars and their specifications is the turban over which wiping is performed.
