The ruling on using stones for wudu' when water is available
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Therefore, Shaykh Abu Malik, the Sunnah in the procedure and calculations is with the city
Answer:
That is, he uses the stones even if water is available. I do not know that it is from the Sunnah to leave the water and use the stones. But if he does this, it is permissible for him and sufficient for him. As for making an effort to do this, leaving the water, and taking the stones, considering this to be the Sunnah. The command is for choice and sufficiency. In fact, water is safer. Water, when it is restricted, is safer and better. So how does he leave what is better for the thing that is merely sufficient?
