Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says: May the Shaykh be respected, is it permissible to wipe over the shemagh and the ghutrah if it is made like a turban and wrapped around the head such that it is difficult to remove and return it to its original state?
The Shaykh : Yes, a turban is not required to be made of a specific material. Anything that is wrapped around the head is considered a turban, and it is permissible to wipe over it. However, some scholars stipulated a condition for which there is no evidence, namely that the turban must be knotted, meaning a loop is passed under the chin like this, or that it must have a tail, meaning its end hangs down from the back. But the correct view is that this is not a condition, and that whenever a turban is on the head, one wipes over it, due to the hardship of removing it and then folding it again. Yes.
