Teaching the common people the timing of the start and end of wiping
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I teach people in the mosque and elsewhere, especially the common people, and they find the issues of wiping difficult, particularly regarding the timing of the start and the end. So, should I tell them: “Wear the socks from the Fajr prayer until you go to sleep, then take them off, and when you get up for Fajr, the period starts anew”? Is there any problem with what I say?
Answer:
It is not specific to the Fajr prayer. Whenever one wears the barrier, whether for the Zuhr or the 'Asr prayer, it is not specific to Fajr. If he performs a complete ablution and wears the barrier at any time, the period for wiping begins, and he is not restricted to Fajr. This is clear and does not cause difficulty for anyone. Yes.
