The ruling on wiping over the shemagh wrapped around the head

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some people in our country wear the shemagh like a turban, wrapping it around their heads. Is it permissible for them to wipe over it?

Answer:
No, it is not a turban. This is a headband; it is a headband, not a turban. Yes.
