*Fiqh of Wiping over Khuff, Socks, Shoes, Turban…(2 of 2)*
*Validity of Ablution after Taking off the Wiped Socks*
The scholars differed concerning the ruling on one who does ablution and wipes over his socks, then takes them off. Some scholars say that it is sufficient for him to wash his feet, and his ablution is completed thereby. Others concluded that the ablution is not invalidated thereby unless he breaks his ablution in some other way (by breaking wind etc) and this is the strongest view. This was the view of a number of the salaf, including Qataadah, al-Hasan al-Basri and Ibn Abi Layla. It was supported by Ibn Hazm in al-Muhalla (1/105), and was the view favoured by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah and Ibn al-Mundhir. Al-Nawawi said in al-Majmu’ (1/557), Majmu’ Fataawa Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 11/193. al-Mughni, 1/366-386; al-Muhalla, 1/105; al-Ikhtiyaaraat, p. 15; al-Sharh al-Mumti’, 1/180.
*Purity Last after the Period for Wiping Over the Socks Ends*
The correct view is that his ablution is not invalidated when the period for wiping over the socks comes to an end. There is a principle that the seeker of knowledge should pay attention to, which is that what is proven by the shar’i evidence cannot be invalidated without further shar’i evidence, because what is proven remains as it is. Liqa’ al-Baab al-Maftuh, 44.
*Wiping Over the Shoes*
It is also established that Muslim can wipe over shoe, especially boot (like army boot). Al-Mugheerah ibn Shu’bah said: “The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did wudoo’ and wiped over his socks and shoes.” (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 92; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Sunan al-Tirmidhi, no. 86
*How to Wipe Over the Socks or Shoes*
The way in which one wipes over them is to put one’s wet fingers on the toes then pass them over the feet to the shin; the right foot should be wiped with the right hand and the left foot with the left hand. The fingers should be spread when wiping and it should not be repeated. al-Mulakhkhas al-Fiqhi by al-Fawzaan, 1/43, Fataawa al-Mar’ah al-Muslimah, vol. 1, p. 250, al-Sharh al-Mumti’ by Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, vol. 1, p. 213.
*Wiping Over Socks that Have Holes in Them*
Imaam Sufyaan al-Thawri (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “One may wipe over the khuff so long as it is still clinging to the feet. Were the khuff of the Muhaajireen and Ansaar anything but full of holes and tears?” (Narrated by ‘Abd al-Razzaaq in al-Musanaaf, 1/194) al-Fataawa (21/174) al-Majmoo’ (1/502). It is permissible to wipe over them instead of washing one’s feet when doing wudoo’, if they were put on when one was in a state of tahaarah (purity), unless the holes are bigger than is ordinarily acceptable, or the socks are so thin that the feet would be judged to be naked. Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, 5/246.
*Wiping Over the Head Cover for Men and Women*
It is permissible for men to wipe over the head cover, and this is the apparent meaning of the general words that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) “wipe over the khuffayn and the head cover.” Saheeh Muslim (275), Ahmad (39/325).
The scholars differed concerning the ruling on a woman wiping over her head cover. And the most correct is that it is permissible for a woman to wipe over her khimar (head cover) in the case of necessity, such as when it is very cold, or it is difficult to take off her hijab and put it back on. Fataawa al-Tahaarah, p. 171, Ash-Sharh al-Mumti‘ ‘ala Zaad al-Mustaqni‘, 1/239. Sharh al-‘Umdah, 1/265, 266 Sharh Muntaha al-Iraadaat (1/60).
