The Condition of Intention in Wiping Over Leather Socks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Shaykh Salih. This questioner says: Is intention required when wiping over the socks?
Answer:
There is no need for that. Intention is not required if you put them on while in a state of ritual purity, even if you did not intend at the time of putting them on that you would wipe over them. The important thing is that you put them on while in a state of ritual purity. Then you may wipe over them until the time limit passes, which is one day and one night for the resident, and three days and their nights for the traveler, after a state of ritual impurity. That is, from the first wipe after the state of ritual impurity. It is not required in this that you precede it with the intention that you want to wipe over them. It is not required, and there is no evidence for it. Yes.
