Is it necessary to wipe the front of the head and descend to its end, or is it necessary to lift the hair to wipe what is beneath it, when adopting the fatwa that mandates wiping all of the hair?
The sufficient amount for wiping the head is wiping the entire head. Therefore, one must wipe the hair of the head from its front to its end. Then, one should insert the hands under the hanging hair to make sure it is completely wiped. This insertion is obligatory to achieve complete coverage, and it is done by passing the hands to the nape of the neck and then returning them from under the hair to the front of the head.
