Q 3:
During performing Wudu' (ablution), is it sufficient that I wipe my scarf or must I remove it and wipe my head,
i.e. my hair? May Allah reward you with the best.
A:
It is Wajib (obligatory) for a Muslim to wipe the head, including the ears, with water other than the remnant of what was used for washing the hands. One must wet the hands then wipe the entire head along with the ears. A proof for this is the Statement of Allah (Exalted be He) regarding the obligatory acts of Wudu':
...rub (by passing wet hands over) your heads
The ears are part of the head. The letter ب (Ba') in the Statement of Allah:
...وَامْسَحُوا بِرُءُوسِكُمْ [rub (by passing wet hands over) your heads]
is for Ilsaq (contact; the hand touching the head). Consequently, it is not sufficient to wipe the head while it (Part No. 4; Page No. 88) is covered.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
