Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : You are asking about earrings that cover part of the ear, and also about the clips placed in the hair: are they considered a barrier that prevents wudu'?
The Shaykh : They are not considered a barrier that prevents wudu', especially since the earrings in the ear and the clips holding the hair are on something that is wiped, namely the head. The barrier is excused on something that is wiped. For this reason, it is permissible to wipe over the turban, and it is permissible to wipe over the head coverings of women according to many scholars. Therefore, this does not harm and does not prevent the validity of wudu'. However, when it comes to ghusl, the water must reach the roots of the hair, just as it reaches the surface of the hair.
