The Difference Between the 'Imamah and the Ghutrah Regarding Wiping
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Do the Prophetic acts of worship have specific written records? And did he inform us of others? He then asked: Why?
Answer:
Regarding the first question, the ghutrah, the simar, and the 'isabah do not take the place of the 'imamah. The 'imamah is a known item that is folded over the head, with its folds one above the other, and it is secured by the dhua'ab or by the tahnik under the jaw. It is not something that is difficult to remove at every ablution. Therefore, the Lawgiver granted a dispensation to wipe over it to make things easier for people. That is, one does not have to remove the 'imamah every time he performs wudu', then wait until he is finished with the matter, and then go and fold it, wrap it, and fix it. It is not something that burdens the Muslims. As for the ghutrah, the simar, and the 'isabah, these are easy items; wearing them is easy, and they do not take the place of the 'imamah. Yes.
