Ruling on omitting wiping over the head due to an excuse
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says, O Shaykh: that she complains of pain in her head when wiping it for wudu'. Sometimes she says: I wipe over something on top of my head so that the water does not touch my head. Is there anything required of me in this, given the situation described?
Answer:
This varies; if she suffers from ... clear harm, she does not wipe and performs tayammum. If it is only slight harm, no, she is obligated to wipe over the hair itself, she does not place anything on it, she wipes over the hair itself.
But she may adopt a khimar, meaning: she wraps it and ties it under her chin, and secures it, she wipes over it for a day and a night if she wears it while in a state of purity, then when the day and night are completed; she removes it, and purifies herself, then wears it.. and so on, until it relieves her of some of the harm, meaning: a tied khimar, she folds it over her head, and under her chin, secured, she wears it while in a state of purity, she wipes over it for a day and a night like: the leather socks, when the day and night are completed; she unties it, then purifies herself, then wears it securely for the sake of the head's harm. Yes.
The presenter: So this is a dire necessity, O Shaykh?
Answer: Yes, if this khimar is available and worn while in a state of purity, and she wipes over the khimar for a day and a night, then she unties it, and purifies herself, then re-wears it, and so on like the leather socks, there is nothing wrong with it, and if this is difficult for her, and it is not available, she performs tayammum, if the water harms her, if she performs wudu', and washes her feet, she dries them, she strikes the earth with her hands with the intention for the head.
The presenter: May Allah reward you and bless you, may the Shaykh be respected.
