A: There is no difference and what is obligatory in Wudhu, is washing the face and there is no reliable evidence on the manner of doing it, that is, whether to use one or both hands.

Q126: Must we wipe the front part of the head? Must the movement of the hand be forwards while wiping the head? Must we wipe the head with the right hand? Is it necessary to wipe the feet one after the other or is it allowable to wipe them both at once?

A: The place to be wiped is one fourth of the head which is above the forehead, and it suffices to wipe any part of that place to any length and breadth. Wiping the head backwards is not forbidden although the recommended precaution is to wipe the head forwards. It is not necessary to wipe the head with the right hand. It is not forbidden to wipe both feet at once but wiping the left foot before the right one is not allowed.

Issue 133: The palms of the hands must be wet enough to affect the head and the feet.

Issue 134: The place to be wiped on the head and feet must be dry. So if it is wet, it must be dried first. But if the existing wetness is so little that the moisture observable after wiping can be accounted as the result of the wetness of the palms, it is not forbidden.

Issue 135: Nothing like a veil, socks, shoes¸ or hats is allowed to intervene between the hands and head or feet while wiping, even if it is very thin and the moisture can reach the skin through it, unless having those things on is inevitable, for example, for fear of thieves or predators.
