Ruling on wiping part of the head in wudu'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the ruling on the one who wipes part of the head, like the front part, meaning he does not wipe [the rest], while [the verse says] "and wipe your heads"?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible. It is obligatory to wipe the entire head.
The questioner : Does that mean, does it invalidate the wudu?
The Shaykh : Does what?
The questioner : Does it invalidate the wudu if he does not wipe his entire head?
The Shaykh : My brother, it is not said that it invalidates the wudu.
The questioner : It means the wudu is not completed.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
