Ahsan Allahu ilaykum. Regarding my question a woman wiping her head in wudu only front to back (im not trying to argue just clarify) this wasn't my idea rather a hadith in sunan abi dawud #128. Is it a weak hadith or am I misunderstanding it? I can post it full quote if you like. Jazak Allahu khayr.

Ibn Qudāmah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It is recommended, when wiping the head, to moisten the hands, then place the tip of one index finger on the tip of the other and place them at the front of the head, with the thumbs on the temples. Then he should pass his hands to the back of his head and return them to the place from which he started. This is as reported by ‘Abdullāh ibn Zayd in describing the ablution of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: "He wiped his head with his hands, moving them forward and backward—he began at the front of his head, went with them to the back of his head, then returned them to where he started." [Agreed upon]. The same description was reported by al-Miqdām ibn Maʿdīkarib, as narrated by Abū Dāwūd. If a person has long hair and fears it will become disheveled by returning his hands, then he does not return them—this was stated by Imām Aḥmad. It was said to him: “If someone has hair down to his shoulders, how should he wipe his head during wuḍūʼ?” Aḥmad passed his hands once over his head and said: “Like this—out of dislike for the hair being scattered,” meaning that he wipes to the back of the head only, without returning. Aḥmad said: “This is how the ḥadīth of ʿAlī is.” But if he wishes, he may wipe in the manner narrated from al-Rubayyiʿ: that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablution in her presence and wiped all of his head, from the parting of the hair, each side going in the direction of hair flow, without disturbing the hair’s arrangement. This was narrated by Abū Dāwūd. [End of quote from al-Mughnī]
