The questioner : He also asks: What is the duration of wiping for a resident?
The Shaykh : Does he mean wiping over leather socks, it seems?
The questioner : Yes, wiping over leather socks, yes.
The Shaykh : Its duration is one day and one night, twenty-four hours.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : This duration begins from the first time one wipes. It is calculated from the first time one wipes until the corresponding time on the second day. So if he wipes at exactly twelve o'clock on the day, he may wipe until exactly twelve o'clock on the following day.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And if he wipes before the duration ends, and he remains in a state of ritual purity, and his duration ends while he is still in a state of ritual purity, his ablution does not become invalid. He remains in his ablution until it is broken by a known invalidator.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : So the duration before the wiping is not taken into account. For example, if one performs ablution for Fajr and remains in a state of purity through Zuhr, 'Asr, and Maghrib, then performs ablution for 'Isha', the duration begins from 'Isha' for twenty-four hours?
The Shaykh : Yes, yes. And I also tell you, suppose he prayed 'Isha' with the ablution of Fajr and did not wipe until the second day, from Fajr, from Fajr on the second day.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Then the duration begins from the second Fajr.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : From Fajr on the second day.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And suppose he wiped before the start of the wiping time on the third day. Suppose he wiped before the duration ended.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And he remained in a state of purity until 'Isha' on the third or fourth night. Then that is also correct. For this reason, some common people err when they say that the one who wears leather socks prays five times in them. No, he may pray more than five times.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The Shaykh : Does he mean wiping over leather socks, it seems?
The questioner : Yes, wiping over leather socks, yes.
The Shaykh : Its duration is one day and one night, twenty-four hours.
The questioner : Yes.
