o
It has been recorded that the Prophet used to
wipe his head three different ways:
1.
Wiping all of his head.
'Abdullah ibn Zaid reported that the Prophet
 wiped
his entire head with his hands. He started with
the front of his head, then moved to the back,
and then returned his hands to the front.
2.
Wiping over the turban only.
§
Said 'Amru ibn Umayyah, "I saw the Messenger of
Allah
wipe
over his turban and shoes."
(Related by Ahmad, al-Bukhari and Ibn Majah).
§
Bilal reported that the Prophet
said,
"Wipe
over your shoes and head covering."
(Related by Ahmad.)
§
'Umar once said, "May Allah not purify the one
who does not consider wiping over the turban to
be purifying." Many hadith have been related on
this topic by al-Bukhari, Muslim and others. Most
of the scholars agree with them.
3.
Wiping over the front portion of the scalp and
the turban.
Al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah said that the Messenger
of Allah, upon whom be peace, made ablution and
wiped over the front portion of his scalp, his
turban and his socks. (Related by Muslim.) There
is, however, no strong hadith that he wiped over
part of his head, even though al-Ma'idah:
apparently implies it. It is also not sufficient
just to wipe over locks of hair that proceed from
the head or along the sides of the head.
o
If you are a female and a non-mahram male (or

§
Once the Prophet
remained
behind us in a journey. He joined us while we
were performing ablution for the prayer which was
over-due. We were just passing wet hands over our
feet (and not washing them properly) so the
Prophet addressed us in a loud voice and said
twice or thrice: "Save
your heels from the fire."
[Bukhari
1:164, Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr]
§
"...and then he washed his feet up to the
ankles."
[Bukhari 1.186, narrated Amr]
