The Components Of Wudoo’: Wiping Over The Turban And Forelock

Al-Mugheerah ibn Shu’bah (رضي الله عنه) reports that the Prophet (ﷺ) made Wudoo’ and wiped over his forelock and over the turban and leather socks. [Reported by Muslim, 1/159].
Ibn Qudaamah says in ‘al-Mughnee’ (1/310); And if part of the head is uncovered and it is normally so, then it is preferable to wipe over that along with the turban – that is recorded from Ahmad: as the Prophet (ﷺ) wiped over his turban and forelock – as occurs in the hadeeth of al-Mugheerah ibn Shu’bah.
As for caps/’prayer hats’, it is not permissible to wipe over them as Ahmad says for various reasons, from them:
1️⃣ They do not cover all of the head normally, nor are they tied around it.
2️⃣ There is no difficulty in their removal.
As for the woman’s head cover – it is permissible to wipe over it as Umm Salamah used to wipe over her head cover – as reported by Ibn al-Mundhir. (See’al-Mughnee’, 1/312).
