As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

 

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Is masah over the scarf aloud for women 

 

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

 

Answer:

 

Wipe scarf wudu women

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Said Amru ibn Umayyah, "I saw the Messenger of Allah (saws) wipe over his turban and shoes (while doing wudu)."

Related by Ahmad, al-Bukhari and Ibn Majah.

 

Bilal reported that the Prophet (saws) said, "Wipe over your shoes and your head covering (while doing wudu)."

Related by Ahmad.

 

There is enough evidence in the authentic and established Sunnah that the Messenger of Allah (saws) at times would wipe over his turban or head-cover while doing the ‘wudu’.  The scholars and jurists in Islam are unanimous in their opinion that if one, regardless of whether a man or a woman, were to wipe over their head-cover while doing the ‘wudu’ it would suffice to fulfill the obligatory requirement of wiping the heads in ‘wudu’.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
