The ruling on wiping over leather socks after the time limit has ended
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The Shaykh:
May Allah honor us.
The questioner:
And it will not settle among us, even if you dare in another mosque, and the punishment, the punishment of the community.
The Shaykh:
How?
The questioner:
And he did not panic about it when he did not know the time, so he is in the state of that wudu. Three times until the men remain in the month.
The Shaykh:
Yes, this is asking about the one who wipes over the socks when the time limit has ended and he is still in a state of purity. Does the completion of the time limit invalidate the wudu, such that he must remove the socks and wash his feet? Or, as long as his wudu has not been broken, does he pray even if the time has passed, meaning if the time limit has ended? The answer is that when the time limit ends, the effect of the wudu ends, so he must remove what he is wearing and wash his feet, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) specified the time limit as one day and one night for the resident, and three days and their nights. If we say he prays after the time limit, we are adding something that contradicts the specification of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). This is the correct view, and it is the position of the majority, even though some scholars, such as Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and some of the precise scholars, held that he may pray with the wudu even if the time limit has ended, as long as it has not been broken, and that he may pray with it. But in reality, this is the weaker position; this is a weak opinion and it is subject to scrutiny, because the specification by the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) indicates the end of the effect of the wudu, the end of the time limit. They also said that if he fears missing the Friday prayer, and the time for his wiping has ended, and if he goes to perform wudu, the Friday prayer is missed, then according to the choice of Shaykh Taqiy al-Din, he prays the Friday prayer even if the time has ended, as long as he is in a state of wudu, because this Friday prayer is missed, is there not another Friday prayer? And so on of the branches of the issue. But the correct view is that when the time limit is completed, the wudu ends, so he must remove the socks, perform wudu, and wash his feet. Yes.
