The issue of the invalidation of wudu' upon the expiration of the time for wiping
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Does wudu' become invalid when the time for wiping expires?
The correct view is that it does not become invalid when the time for wiping expires. For example, if the time for wiping ends at twelve noon and you remain in a state of purity until night, you are still in a state of purity. This is because there is no evidence that wudu' becomes invalid when the time for wiping expires. The expiration of the time for wiping only ends the wiping itself; it does not end the state of purity. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) specified a time for wiping but did not specify a time for purity. This is a principle that a student of knowledge should be aware of:and she: That what is established by a legal proof is not removed except by a legal proof; because the original state is that what was is as it was.
