Washing Part of the Feet in Wudu
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is there a ruling regarding washing part of the feet, such as the ankles, while leaving the rest unwashed during wudu, by analogy with wiping?
Answer:
I do not know of this. I do not know except that the Shi'ah are the ones who say to wipe over the feet and not wash them, whereas the people of the Sunnah are in agreement on the obligation of washing the feet, and that one does not wipe except if he has on something like leather socks or thick socks. Yes. Bathroom, turn. If any part remains, even a small amount, the wudu is not valid, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man who had a spot on his foot that water had not reached, so he ordered him to perfect his wudu. Yes, there is no god but Allah. Yes.
