Ayatollah Khamenei (may Allah protect him):
It is a condition that the front part of the head must be dry when intending to wipe over it. Therefore, it is necessary to dry the area of wiping from any droplets so that the effect is from the wiper to the wiped, and not the other way around. Thus, if the hair is excessively wet, there is a flaw in wiping the head.

Ayatollah Sistani (may Allah protect him):
It is a condition that the front part of the head must be dry when intending to wipe over it. It is required that there should not be any visible wetness on the area of wiping, although it is permissible if it is merely damp or absorbed. Therefore, if the hair is excessively wet, there is a flaw in wiping the head.
