In this lesson, Abu Humayd Saalim discusses the issue of wiping over the turban.
Wiping over the turban is allowed under two conditions:
1) The turban must be covering the area of the head which is traditionally covered.
2) The turban must be wrapped round the lower jaw up to the head, one or more than one turn, or to be with a back tail.
The permissibility of wiping over the turban in ablution is stated in many ahadith that the Prophet Salallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam wiped over his head during ablution. To illustrate, ‘Umar Ibnul-khattab (may Allaah be pleased with him) said:
“He who is not purified by wiping over the turban (i.e does not deem it sufficient for wiping over the head), then may Allaah not purify him”.
