The Manner of Wiping the Head in Ablution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says that she wipes her head once during ablution, from the hairline at the front to the back only. She says she does not repeat it because it is difficult for her to comb her hair forward. Does this suffice, or is it necessary to repeat it?
Answer:
The manner of wiping the head that is authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is that he places his hands, wet with water, on the front of his head or on the hairline, then moves them to the back of his head, then returns them to the place where he started. So the Muslim should do this action following the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It is not sufficient for him to move them to the back of the head and not return them, because this is a deficiency in applying the Sunnah. As for the hair on the head, you must secure it with something that holds it in place, then you return your hands over it to the hairline or to the starting point of the wiping. Yes.
