What are the conditions stipulated by Ibn Hazm for wiping over a woman's head covering (hijab)? Is it permissible to wipe over a hijab that does not cover all the hair? What is the ruling for a non-hijabi woman or a hijabi woman at home to wipe over her hijab if she puts it on solely for ablution? Does Ibn Hazm stipulate conditions for the hijab, such as it being thin, or worn in a state of ritual purity, or having the ruling of leather socks (khuffain)?

Ibn Hazm holds the view that it is permissible to wipe over anything that covers the head—such as a turban, a headscarf (khimar), or a cap (qalansuwah)—whether it covers the entire head or not, and whether it was worn in a state of ritual purity or not, and without a specified duration. He also states that it is not a condition to wipe over the entire head, but rather whatever can be called 'wiping'. However, the more cautious and preponderant view is that of the Hanbalis, which stipulates conditions for the turban and khimar similar to the conditions for wiping over the leather socks (khuffayn), while emphasizing the prohibition of ostentatious display (tabarruj) and the obligation for a woman to cover her entire hair.
