Analogy of removing the leather socks with shaving the head that was wiped over
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And Honorable Shaykh, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was upon him, upon him, upon him, so does this not apply to him?
The Shaykh:
This chapter mentions Shaykh al-Islam in a hundred selections, where he says that the ablution is not invalidated by analogy to the one who shaves his head after wiping over it. What do you say about the validity of the ablution? We say there is a difference between removing the leather socks and shaving the head. When the head is shaved, its roots remain; the wiping over the hair removed its outer layer, but its roots remained. So the roots of what was wiped over are still present. This is unlike the leather socks, which are removed entirely, leaving no roots on the foot. There is a difference between these two. If an analogy is made in the presence of a distinguishing factor, it is not a valid analogy. Yes.
