However, if the hairs are so long that when combed they fall on his face, or on other parts of his head, he should wipe his hand on the roots of his hair, or part the hair and wipe the skin. If a person collects his hair on the front side of his head, or on other parts of his head and wipes them, or if he wipes the hair of other places, such a wiping would be void.
258. After wiping the head, one should wipe with the moisture present in one’s hands, one’s feet from any toe of the foot up to the humped part on top of the foot .and the obligatory precaution is that he should wipes up to the joint.

264. If the wetness of palm is just enough for wiping the head, then as an obligatory precaution, one should wipe the head first, and for the wiping of feet, the wetness should be obtained from the other parts of Wudhu.
266. If the upper part of his feet is najis, and it cannot also be washed for wiping, one should perform tayammum.
