How to perform wiping when the turban covers the head or part of it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And regarding the tashahhud, if the two [sides] are covered from the inside, but not covered from the sides of the forehead, how is the back of the head to be handled, and how is the wiping to be done?

The Shaykh:
As Imam Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned, if parts of the sides of the head are visible, one wipes over the visible parts and completes the wiping over the turban.

The questioner:
And if the turban is arranged on the head such that nothing of the head hair is seen except a little, how does he wipe?

The Shaykh:
Wiping over the turban: if the turban is loose and covers the head, and nothing of the head is visible, then wiping over the turban is sufficient, just as wiping over the socks is sufficient in place of washing the feet. As I mentioned to you, the forms established in the Sunnah are three: wiping over the forelock and completing over the turban, wiping over the entire head, and wiping over the entire turban. Three forms. Yes.
