Washing the Ears with the Headscarf and the Turban

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if women’s headscarves cover the ears, does a woman leave off washing her ears and suffice with wiping over her headscarf? And likewise, does a man do the same with his turban?

Answer:
No, it does not cover the ears. Rather, she inserts her hands and wipes the ears. It is not stuck to the ears in a way that prevents access; there is space between them, so she inserts her hands and wipes the ears.
