Washing the hands three times for the one who wraps his hands in a cloth before sleeping

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
There are some women who do not have a sunnah (recommended practice) in their pockets, and they sleep with their two hands wrapped in a cloth.

Another questioner:
It is said that her hands are the two pure ones, and that she was in a state of impurity, and is it permissible for her not to wash her hands three times?

The Shaykh:
The hadith is general for the one who wraps his hands in a cloth and the one who does not, the hadith is general, and regarding the explanation of those who explained it by saying that Satan spends the night in them, the cloth does not prevent him from spending the night in them even if they are wrapped, so the hadith is general for the one who wraps his hand and the one who does not, and the one who binds it and the one who does not, the hadith is general.
