The ruling on rubbing the leg during wudu' if some whiteness remains on it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I perform wudu' and let water run over my legs, but a little whiteness remains on part of the leg in the form of small bubbles, and this does not go away except by rubbing, especially in winter. So is rubbing obligatory in that case, or is it sufficient to just let the water run?
Answer:
It is obligatory for the water to run over the limb. As for rubbing, it is a recommended practice (sunnah) merely for the sake of ensuring thoroughness. Yes. In winter and in summer. At night and during the day. Rubbing is a recommended practice (sunnah) for ensuring thoroughness. As for the water running over the limb, that is obligatory. Or it is obligatory. Yes.
