The Meaning of Ahmad’s Addition in the Hadith on Wiping Stones
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And we ask the Shaykh what is the meaning of his statement regarding the addition in Ahmad, “one time” or “yes,” in a hadith like this.
Answer:
The author of the book abridged the hadith. If it is absolutely necessary to do it, then “one time” means once, meaning he wipes it once. Or “leave it” means he leaves it, even for that one time, meaning he leaves off the wiping. But if it is absolutely necessary, then do it once so that it does not distract you from the prayer. Yes.
