Answer to Chica's Question
When making wudu does one have to cover their hair?
The answer is no, because the Prophet S.A.W told us to wipe over it from the hairline to the back of head and then back up to wipe inside and behind the ears. This is the sunnah, so if you have privacy from non-maharam men, this is how you should make your wudu. If you are not able to find a private place to makde wudu and are in danger of the prayer time running out, the scholars are in agreement that you may wet what strands and parts of your hair that your fingers may reach underneath your hijab and still have a valid wudu, since you cannot remove your hijab in the presence of non-maharams. But the sunnah is to wet the hair from the hairline to the back of the head and then back up to wipe water within and around the ears.

Jazakallah girls.... but I bet my mum will still argue with me about it bless her little socks!
asalaamu alaikum
good points but, I do recall reading several times somewhere that the scholars allow us to wipe over our hijabs just like they allow men to wipe over their turbans...it's somewhere...i remember on MuslimahsInHijab we had this discussion years back and several fatawah popped up about this which stated that.
Hence if I'm in a public place I rarely if ever take off my hijab to do wuduh...I wipe over and then wipe my ears and the front where my hair is. This is supposed to suffice...
I can dig around and see if I find the fatawaah on this.
If there's a fire burning in your house, and you will die if you stay inside, can you leave the house without hijab?
Yes, Anonymous.
It would be HARAAM or a SIN not to.
