The Meaning of Reading with Kasr in the Phrase of Allah the Exalted: "And Your Feet to the Ankles"

Question:
In the phrase of Allah the Exalted , some schools of jurisprudence hold that it is obligatory to wipe over the feet rather than wash them, taking this position based on the reading with the kasr. What is your view, Your Eminence the Shaykh?

Answer:
This is the position of the Rafidah. It is not permissible. What the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did was to wash them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is the best interpreter of the reading, and “and your feet” means following [the face]. The correct reading is with the fathah, where “and your feet” is a conjunction with “the faces.” Whoever reads it with the kasr is following the pattern of following [the face], and this does not change the fact that they are washed; because the Messenger washed them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) interprets the Qur'an. For this reason, the reciters and scholars mentioned that the correct reading is the fathah for “and your feet” in the recitation. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh!
