Shaking the hands to reduce water when wiping over socks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man says that when he wanted to wipe over his socks, he shook his hands. I asked him why, and he said, “To reduce the water.” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) blew on his palms when he wanted to perform dry ablution with clean earth. Is his argument and his action correct?
Answer:
As for his analogy to the blowing of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), that is not correct. As for shaking his hands to reduce the water, there is nothing wrong with it. He shakes his hands to reduce the water; it is not a matter of making an analogy to dry ablution with clean earth. Yes.
