The turban is called so because it covers the head, and the ghutrah is the same; is it to be analogized to it regarding wiping?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. Regarding the turban, is it not called a turban because it covers the head? So we do not say, for example, that the ghutrah also covers the head and adds to it, so one wipes over it?
The Shaykh : By Allah, it is difficult. We agree with you on this. It is difficult; we agree on this if you wish.
The questioner : Due to the absence of hardship, meaning.
The Shaykh : There is no hardship. For this reason, the scholars differed regarding the qalansuwa, yes, the qalansuwa and its like. But what is questionable is what some people do. I recall that in the past, drivers of large vehicles, trucks, would wear something on the head, meaning it covers the entire head and has a collar, with only the face exposed. This can be analogized to the turban.
The questioner : What about the burnous?
The Shaykh : The burnous: the burnous, the burnous that 'Umar has, a burnous, meaning?
The questioner : A burnous, yes.
The Shaykh : By Allah, I do not know. I see the brothers wearing it in Makkah, and we always find it behind the shoulders.
The questioner : Yes, but in winter it is placed on the head.
The Shaykh : It is placed on the head. By Allah, it may be said so.
The questioner : And it is not burdensome, and it is not burdensome for a person to take it off.
The Shaykh : Then it is not to be analogized.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, which one?
The questioner : The turban differs from this.
The Shaykh : There is no doubt.
The Shaykh : By Allah, it is difficult. We agree with you on this. It is difficult; we agree on this if you wish.
