Masah of the head
HOW TO MAKE MASAH OF THE HEAD,
EARS AND NAPE
Masah of the Head
Masah of the head, ears and nape during Wudhu is made with the moist hands.
Masah of the head will start by placing the fingers - three fingers of each hand, i.e. the three fingers from the little finger -- at the front of the head immediately above the forehead. The thumbs and forefingers will be held separated from the head. The rest of the palms (i.e. besides these six fingers) will be held away from the head. Now draw these six fingers backward in a straight line over the head until the back of the neck is reached.
Now close the palms onto the head at the back where the finger-Masah stopped. Draw the palms forward to the front of the head. In drawing the palms forward, do not let the six fingers (previously used) touch the head. The Masah of the head is now complete.
Masah of the Ears
Immediately after completing the Masah of the head make Masah of the interior of the ears with the forefingers. Place the forefingers at the entrance of the ear-holes and rotate over the whole interior area of the ear.
With the thumbs make the Masah of the external surface of the ears by passing the thumbs over the back of the ears, starting from the bottom, i.e. the back of the ear-lobes. The Masah of the ears is now complete.
Masah of the Nape
Immediately after completing the Masah of the ears, Masah of the nape has to be made (i.e. Masah of only the back of the neck is made).
Use the back of the six fingers (i.e. the six fingers used when starting the Masah h of the head) for making Masah of the back of the neck.
First pass the back of the three right-hand fingers over the right-hand side of the neck, then pass the back of the three left-hand fingers over the left side of the neck. Masah of the nape is now complete.
