If one begins wiping over the leather socks while resident and then travels, what is the ruling?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Okay, another question. Regarding wiping over the leather socks, if the period of wiping begins while he is resident, and then half of it ends and he travels, does he take the other half for the traveler?
The Shaykh : How do you mean? Did the period of wiping end while he was resident, or after?
The questioner : It began after the period of wiping started.
The Shaykh : And he was resident?
The questioner : He was resident, and then half of it ended and he traveled.
The Shaykh : Ah, he completes the period of wiping for residence.
The questioner : Yes, exactly.
The Shaykh : Then he starts again for travel.
The questioner : Okay, if he travels, O Shaykh, we say that if a day and a night have ended for the resident, then it has ended, so he begins renewing the wiping because he is traveling.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And he does not calculate.
The Shaykh : And what else?
The questioner : And he does not calculate, so he does not say, for example, "I have taken a day and a half now, since I have finished half of the resident's period, so I will take half of the traveler's period." He does not do this, right?
The Shaykh : No, no. If the period of wiping ends and he was resident, and it ends while he is traveling, then it is the period of residence. Then he renews his ablution by washing his feet, and he puts on the leather socks, so the period of the traveler's residence—or the traveler's wiping—is renewed for him.
The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And you as well.
The Shaykh : How do you mean? Did the period of wiping end while he was resident, or after?
The questioner : It began after the period of wiping started.
The Shaykh : And he was resident?
The questioner : He was resident, and then half of it ended and he traveled.
The Shaykh : Ah, he completes the period of wiping for residence.
The questioner : Yes, exactly.
