Primary text

Wiping a portion of the turban is sufficient, analogous to the permissibility of wiping only a portion of the khuff. This sufficiency specifically applies to the 'akwar' (the circular layers) and not the middle section.

Supporting text

If one wipes only the middle section of the turban, there are two opinions: one holds that it suffices, similar to wiping a portion of the circular layers, and the second holds that it does not suffice, similar to wiping only the underside of the khuff.
