The ruling on wiping over sandals after entering the bathroom
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Many of the military brothers in the offices wear what are called sandals, and they enter the restrooms, which are very damp and contain impurity. Then they go to study on the tile floor, which is not earth, and then to the mosque. What is your opinion?
The Shaykh:
If they wiped off the earth before entering, that is sufficient.
The questioner:
There is no earth; they walk on marble. Huh? They walk on marble.
The Shaykh:
And they encounter impurity, and they encounter impurity.
The questioner:
In the bathrooms.
The Shaykh:
Do not neglect it. If urine falls in the bathroom, in the place for urine, it is not on the floor. The floor of the bathroom is pure, unless someone urinates on it. The urine is in the fixture, the place for urine. So the default is purity. Yes.
