Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):
It is sufficient for a part of the front of the head to remain dry for it to be wiped; it is not necessary to wipe the entire front of the head, but rather it is sufficient to wipe a portion that is defined in length and width.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him):
If there are droplets of water on the foot or head, they must be dried so that the effect is from the moisture of the hand on the foot and head, not the other way around, or one can wipe a place where there are no droplets; thus, wiping the entire front of the head is not required.
