One must beware of intrusive thoughts (waswas) and not succumb to them. What occurs to the worshipper, such as an illusion of changing the intention to lead the prayer, or a dry finger when wiping the head, are mere intrusive thoughts that have no effect on the validity of the prayer. It is sufficient for a woman to wipe part of her head according to many scholars.
