Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a woman who wears the khimar over the henna to wipe over her head?
Answer:
The fixed khimar. The fixed khimar, the one that is tied around the neck, she wipes over it, just as a man wipes over his turban. That is why it is said in fiqh, "and the khimar of women." The khimar of women is that which is tied under their throats. She wipes over it because it is difficult to remove. As for the open khimar, this is like your shemagh and like the ghutrah. No, it is not wiped over. Yes.
