Is ablution valid if wiping the head does not initially include the area above the ears, and one immediately returns to complete the wiping without lifting the hand?

What you did by completing the wiping of the head is sufficient if your hand still had moisture, and therefore, the ablution is valid. However, if your hand dried before completing the wiping, you must take new water to complete the wiping of the head.
