Do I need to wipe my head from the front to the back and then from the back to the front again ? Or is it enough if I only wipe it from the front to the back? In wudu. (I have short hair)

Ustadh AbdulAziz al-Haqqan

Imam Ibn Baz said: He wipes his head with his hands — moving his hands forward and backward: he begins from the front of his head toward the back of his neck, then returns them (to the front). This is the preferred way. However, if he wipes in a different manner — such as wiping only with his right hand, or only with his left hand, or starting from the middle of the head and covering it all — it does not harm, and it is still sufficient. All praise is due to Allah.
