A Woman Wiping Over Her Long Hair

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Finally, Honorable Shaykh, the sister Umm Muram asks: In wudu' (the ablution for prayer), how does a woman wipe over her head if her hair is long?

Answer:
She wipes over her head, covering the area above the hairline completely. As for the hair that hangs down in braids or otherwise, it is not prescribed to wipe over it; she only wipes over the top of the head.
