The Difference Between Wiping Over a Bandage and Wiping Over Leather Socks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : When it becomes obligatory to wash a limb, it becomes obligatory to wipe over the entire bandage. Should we not say that, just as it is obligatory to wash the entire foot, it is obligatory to wash the entire leather sock?
The Shaykh : Because we have answered this, we said that wiping over the leather socks is a matter of easing and dispensation.
The questioner : And take the Fajr prayer.
The Shaykh : No, a bandage is a case of dire necessity, and for this reason, wiping over it is the default ruling, as the scholars said, unlike wiping over leather socks, which is a dispensation.
