00:02:54.729 --> 00:02:57.729 that is, if he had wiped over both of them together, 00:02:57.729 --> 00:03:00.729 then the ablution is invalidated by removing either one of them. 00:03:00.729 --> 00:03:03.729 However, if he restricted the wiping strictly to the socks 00:03:03.729 --> 00:03:05.729 and then put on shoes, 00:03:05.729 --> 00:03:07.729 it is not invalidated by doing so, 00:03:07.729 --> 00:03:10.729 because the ruling at that point applies solely to the socks. 00:03:10.729 --> 00:03:14.210 The shoe alone is not wiped over, 00:03:14.210 --> 00:03:16.210 because it does not cover the ankles; 00:03:16.210 --> 00:03:20.210 rather, one may wipe over the socks along with the shoes, 00:03:20.210 --> 00:03:23.210 since it is authentically established from the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:03:23.210 --> 00:03:26.210 that he wiped over both socks and shoes, 00:03:27.210 --> 00:03:29.659 in an authentic hadith. 00:03:29.659 --> 00:03:31.659 It is permissible to wipe over boots 00:03:31.659 --> 00:03:33.659 along with whatever portion of the socks is exposed, 00:03:33.659 --> 00:03:36.659 and the ruling will apply to both of them together. 00:03:36.659 --> 00:03:39.659 Whenever one takes off the boot after breaking ritual purity, 00:03:39.659 --> 00:03:41.659 it becomes obligatory to take off the sock 00:03:41.659 --> 00:03:44.659 and repeat the ablution for prayer and the like. 00:03:44.659 --> 00:03:47.659 But if one wiped over the sock without wiping the boot, 00:03:47.659 --> 00:03:49.659 that is sufficient, 00:03:49.659 --> 00:03:51.659 provided the socks cover 00:03:51.659 --> 00:03:53.659 the area obligatory to wash, 00:03:53.659 --> 00:03:55.659 and removing the boot will not harm his purity. 00:03:55.659 --> 00:03:59.169 It is permissible to wipe over leather socks and fabric socks 00:03:59.169 --> 00:04:01.169 in both winter and summer. 00:04:01.169 --> 00:04:03.740 If a man sustained a wound, 00:04:03.740 --> 00:04:05.740 the time for prayer entered, 00:04:05.740 --> 00:04:06.740 and he performed ablution 00:04:06.740 --> 00:04:09.740 except that he did not wash the area of the wound 00:04:09.740 --> 00:04:11.740 because it was actively bleeding: 00:04:11.740 --> 00:04:13.740 what was obligatory in this case 00:04:13.740 --> 00:04:16.740 was for you to place a dressing over the wound— 00:04:16.740 --> 00:04:18.740 a piece of cloth wrapped around it, 00:04:18.740 --> 00:04:20.740 or something similar 00:04:20.740 --> 00:04:22.740 that arrests and stops the bleeding— 00:04:22.740 --> 00:04:25.740 so that you could wipe over this dressing. 00:04:25.740 --> 00:04:27.740 If that was not feasible, 00:04:27.740 --> 00:04:30.740 you should have performed tayammum for the wounded area after performing ablution. 00:04:30.740 --> 00:04:33.740 However, binding it with a bandage or dressing 00:04:33.740 --> 00:04:35.740 and then wiping over it 00:04:35.740 --> 00:04:37.740 is what was obligatory. 00:04:37.740 --> 00:04:39.740 So if you did not do that, 00:04:39.740 --> 00:04:42.740 then making up the prayers that you offered 00:04:42.740 --> 00:04:44.740 without either wiping or tayammum 00:04:44.740 --> 00:04:47.740 is the safer and more prudent course for you. 00:04:47.740 --> 00:04:51.319 If someone wipes for longer than the prescribed duration for wiping, 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:53.319 he must repeat the prayer; 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:55.319 this is the correct view, 00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.319 because the duration of wiping is strictly limited. 00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.800 Whoever puts on leather socks or fabric socks— 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:03.800 that is, regular socks— 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:04.800 while not in a state of ritual purity, 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:07.800 and then wipes over them and prays out of forgetfulness, 00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:09.800 his prayer is invalid, 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.800 and he must repeat all the prayers 00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:14.800 that he performed with that wiping. 00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.019 It is preferable and more prudent 00:05:17.019 --> 00:05:20.019 that the person performing ablution should not put on the sock 00:05:20.019 --> 00:05:22.019 until he has washed his left foot; 00:05:22.019 --> 00:05:25.019 this is the view most apparent from the evidence. 00:05:25.019 --> 00:05:27.180 If someone puts on the right sock 00:05:27.180 --> 00:05:29.180 before washing the left foot, 00:05:29.180 --> 00:05:31.180 he ought to take off the leather sock 00:05:31.180 --> 00:05:33.180 or the fabric sock from his right foot 00:05:33.180 --> 00:05:35.180 prior to wiping, 00:05:35.180 --> 00:05:37.180 and then reinsert his foot into it 00:05:37.180 --> 00:05:39.180 after washing the left foot, 00:05:39.180 --> 00:05:41.180 so that he exits from the scholarly disagreement 00:05:41.180 --> 00:05:43.180 and takes precaution regarding his religion. 00:05:43.180 --> 00:05:45.699 The turban is like the leather socks: 00:05:45.699 --> 00:05:47.699 it must be preceded by ritual purity. 00:05:47.699 --> 00:05:49.699 Thus, if one puts on a turban fastened beneath the chin 00:05:49.699 --> 00:05:51.699 while in a state of purity, 00:05:51.699 --> 00:05:53.699 he may wipe over it for a day and a night. 00:05:53.699 --> 00:05:55.699 If a woman winds her headscarf (khimar) 00:05:55.699 --> 00:05:57.790 around her head 00:05:57.790 --> 00:05:59.790 and it is difficult for her to remove it, 00:05:59.790 --> 00:06:01.790 she may wipe over it for a day and a night, 00:06:01.790 --> 00:06:03.790 provided she put it on while in a state of ritual purity, 00:06:03.790 --> 00:06:05.790 exactly like the leather socks. 00:06:05.790 --> 00:06:07.790 However, if it is not fastened securely, 00:06:07.790 --> 00:06:09.790 such as an ordinary turban or the ghutrah, 00:06:09.790 --> 00:06:11.790 wiping over them is not permitted, 00:06:11.790 --> 00:06:13.790 because removing them entails no hardship; 00:06:13.790 --> 00:06:15.790 the same applies to an ordinary headscarf. 00:06:15.790 --> 00:06:17.790 A splint may be wiped over, 00:06:17.790 --> 00:06:19.790 removing it entails no hardship, 00:06:19.790 --> 00:06:21.790 the same applies to an ordinary headscarf. 00:06:21.790 --> 00:06:24.079 A splint may be wiped over, 00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.079 even during major ritual impurity (janabah) and menstruation. 00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.079 Then, when the area beneath it heals, 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.079 it is not obligatory to repeat the ritual bath (ghusl). 00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:32.660 The Fiqh Choices.
