Question :

What is the ruling on wiping the white area behind the ears instead of wiping the head?



The Answer :

The obligation in ablution is to wipe some of the head; it is not a condition to wipe all of it. Wiping the white area behind the ears suffices for that. And Allah the almighty knows best.
