Doubt about the presence of a thread on the leg after ablution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He asks: Did I pray Fajr after I performed wudu'? Then, in the middle of my wudu' for the Zuhr prayer, I discovered that there is a wound, not a small child, on the bottom of my leg, and I do not know if it was after my wudu' for Fajr or before it. What should I do? Several weeks have passed in this state.
The Shaykh:
It does not harm. Did he find a thread or something similar on his leg, and he does not know when it got there? Did it happen before Fajr or after Fajr, and he found it at Zuhr? It does not harm. His prayer is valid, and this does not harm him. The default is the soundness of the wudu'. Also, a thread on the leg does not prevent water; the water will enter and reach what is underneath it. One should not look for a thread stuck to his leg. It is not permissible to engage in such waswas (whispers of doubt). Rather, one should leave this matter that may occur to a person.
The questioner:
It is not possible.
The Shaykh:
I am calling for you, Khanah.
