Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah preserve you, Your Eminence the Shaykh. What is the ruling if one is in doubt about the start of the duration of wiping?
Answer:
If he is in doubt, he makes it one day and one night; he makes it one day and one night. He acts on certainty. If he is a traveler and is in doubt, he makes it one day and one night. As for if he is a resident, he acts on certainty; he reflects and acts on certainty, acting on what he is certain of. If he is in doubt whether the Maghrib prayer is from the day and night or not? He removes them. Or if he is in doubt whether the Zuhr prayer is from the day and night or not? He removes them, and so on. That is, he acts on certainty.
