Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
There is no specific method required for washing and wiping in Wudu, although the method established from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, is more complete and superior. Wiping the head has been reported in two ways:
The first: Wiping the head by placing the wet hands on the front of the head, then moving them to the nape, then returning them to the front. This method is suitable for short hair.
The second: Wiping the entire head in the direction of hair growth, without disturbing its style. This method is suitable for long hair.
