ANSWER:

The sunnah in Wudhu is to wipe your head, not wash it! Therefore you wet your hands and wipe over your head. The water can’t and must not reach your scalp!

QUESTION: I have cold allergy. When I wipe over my head, especially when the water reaches the skull in cold season or the water is cold, I catch cold. What should I do? Should I use less water? Or else?
