Up to Where does the Face have to be Washed when a Person does not have Hair on his Forehead?

Q: Taharaat-33: A man has no hair on the front of head. The hair starts to grow only halfway up his head. Up to where will this person wash his face when making wudhu? Will the normal definition of the forehead be taken into account, requiring him to wash until where the hair normally starts to grows?

Answer: The place where the hair normally starts to grow is the place up to where the face must be washed in wudhu. It is Fardh (obligatory) to wash up to here and not necessary to wash any further. This is clearly mentioned in Umdatul Fiqh (Vol.1 Pg.93) as well.
