Wiping the head in wudu' for men and women

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister Umm Salim says: Shaykh Salih, is the woman like the man in washing the head during wudu'?

Answer:
The head is not washed in wudu', neither for the man nor for the woman; rather, it is wiped. It is wiped on the outer surface only, once. One starts from the front of the head, then passes his wet hands to the back of the head, and then returns them to the place where he started. This applies to both the man and the woman. Yes.
