The Ruling on Wiping over the Shemagh

Question:
Now, Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on wiping over the turban in winter and things like that, such as the shemagh? Does the turban fall under this?

Answer:
The shemagh, my brother, is not wiped over. Rather, one wipes over the turban that covers most of the head, the turban that covers most of the head and has a knot at the back to secure it. This is what is wiped over. As for a wrap or two wraps on the head over the shemagh or over this, it is not a turban; it is a headband, not a turban.
