Question:
Is it sufficient to wipe only part of the head during wudu'?
Answer:
Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) says: "And wipe your heads." Wiping the heads implies wiping the entire head. This is from the perspective of what Allah mentioned in the verse. And from the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), when he performed wudu', he (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his hands on his forehead, then moved them to the back of his head, then returned them to the place where he started. This indicates that he (peace and blessings be upon him) wiped his entire head. Therefore, it is obligatory to wipe the entire head, and wiping only part of it is not sufficient, according to the correct opinion. Yes.
