The Criterion for Washing the Face with the Usual Hairline

Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, he says: Is it obligatory that when washing the face during wudu, the washing must extend from the hair roots, even if the hair is long and hangs down onto the forehead itself, or if the hair is short and its roots are at the top of the head? What is the criterion regarding the length of the hair? The criterion is the hair roots,

Answer:
specifically the usual hairline. The face extends to the usual hairline of the head, so there is no consideration for the bald one, nor for the one with a receding hairline. The one with a receding hairline is the one whose hair grows on his forehead, and the bald one is the one whose hair recedes to the middle of the head; he is called the one with a receding hairline. There is no consideration for either of these; the criterion is the usual hairline, the usual hairline of the head. This is the upper limit of the face. As for shaving the hair or shortening it, there is no consideration for that, even if he has no hair. The criterion is the usual hairline. Yes.
