The Shaykh:
Please proceed.
The questioner:
O Fatima, Shaykh Abu Fahd, does medicine or bread, after its nature, invalidate the wudu'?
The Shaykh:
The majority hold that, yes, it invalidates the wudu'. The position of the majority of scholars is that if one removes the item over which wiping was performed, his wudu' is invalidated, because the covered part has been uncovered and the item over which wiping was performed is gone. When the foot is uncovered, it becomes obligatory to wash it. This is the position of the majority of scholars, even though some hold that it does not invalidate the wudu', including Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, but the position of the majority is this.
