Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If the garment falls a small amount below the ankle, is it permissible for me to return it to its place and wipe over it, whether it fell intentionally or by mistake?
Answer:
No. If this happened before the wudu' was broken, you wore it in a state of purity, then part of the leg was exposed, and you returned it and covered it, there is no objection. Even if you took it off and put it on again, as long as your wudu' has not been broken, there is no obstacle. However, after the wudu' is broken and the period for wiping begins, if any part of the leg is exposed, you do not wipe over it. Yes.
