Wiping Over the Nape During Wudhoo

Postby Shehzad Sattar » Mon Jan 02, 2017 10:04 pm

Question: Is wiping over the nape whilst performing the Wudhoo not recommended? Because I have heard that it is imitating the Jews?

Response: Yes, it has not been recommended, and Islamically it has not been legislated to wipe over the nape, however wiping is only for the head and the ears, as this has been established in the Quraan & Sunnah.

Reference: Majmoo’ Fataawa wa Maqaalaat Ibn Baaz. Vol. 10
The Prophet ﷺ said:

“Make things easy and do not make things difficult. Give glad tidings and do not repel people..”
