The Ruling on Wudu and Wiping Over Tight Clothing and Socks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Some students ask, “Shaykh, our blouses are somewhat tight. If we are at the university or in high school, is it permissible for us to perform wudu over them because it is difficult to remove them? And is it permissible to wipe over the socks? And how?”
Answer:
It is obligatory for a woman to wear loose, covering clothing that allows her to perform wudu' and move and do other things, and she should not wear tight clothing; because it is a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). Also, if it is difficult for her to perform wudu' while wearing it, then this increases the severity of the matter. So she must wear loose clothing with which she can perform wudu', and it is not permissible for her to perform wudu' over the clothing, or to wipe over it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
