The Description of Wudu for One Who Finds It Difficult to Wash His Feet
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Muhammad from Taif is with us on the line, please go ahead, Muhammad. Peace be upon you. And upon you, peace.
The Shaykh:
Peace.
The questioner:
Shaykh, I am asking you, may you live long. When performing wudu, I perform it, but I am unable to wash my feet. I lift my feet to the washing area and wet them with water while standing, and I put them in the water only, without rubbing them. Is this permissible, Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
This is permissible, there is no harm in it, if Allah wills, provided that the water washes the feet and reaches them. There is no harm in that, yes.
The questioner:
But without rubbing, Shaykh, I do not have time to rub them, I mean.
The Shaykh:
Rubbing is not obligatory, my brother, rubbing is not obligatory.
