Answer
According to the Hanafi Madhab, it is Fardh to make Masah of one quarter of the head. It is not necessary for the fingers to touch the scalp. It is sufficient for the fingers to pass over the hair. (Hidaaya vol.1 pg.17)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
