Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The issue of wiping over the leather socks, the issue of timing: is it permissible to wipe over the leather socks...?
The Shaykh : I may have misunderstood you, or I may not have. Clarify your question. Do not repeat it. Clarify your question. Do not repeat it.
The questioner : I mean, for example, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) specified one day and night, or three days and their nights, for the traveler. If the resident exceeds this day and wipes, meaning he adds to it, is that permissible?
The Shaykh : No, it is not permissible. What is the benefit of the specification if we say it is permissible? What is the benefit of the specification?
The questioner : Is this specification for obligation or for recommendation?
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you. It is the same answer. What was the previous answer? Tell me what the previous answer was.
The questioner : ... ؟
The Shaykh : The previous answer was that it is not permissible. So now, when you say this is for obligation or for recommendation, what will the answer be? Permissible or not permissible?
The questioner : Not permissible.
The Shaykh : That is the answer. It has already been stated. Even if you develop the question, the answer is the same. It is for obligation, not for recommendation. Because if it were for recommendation, it would mean you are free to wipe as much as you wish, as is stated in the school of Imam Malik.
The questioner : O Shaykh, you mentioned in *Tammam al-Mannah* that it is not obligatory.
The Shaykh : No
The questioner : In the narration of Ibn Abi Shaybah from al-Hasan, the school of al-Hasan... it is one piece of evidence regarding the issue of major ritual impurity, that he used to order us to remove our socks except in the case of major ritual impurity.
The Shaykh : I did not understand you. What is "except in the case of major ritual impurity"? Is this a hadith?
The questioner : I mean, this hadith. I said that this is evidence that it is the sock.
The Shaykh : This concerns when it is removed and when it is not removed. But I said that this timing, the resident wipes for one day and night, and the traveler wipes for three days and their nights. I said in *Tammam al-Mannah* that this is for the Sunnah, not for obligation?
The questioner : It is not for obligation.
The Shaykh : You are mistaken.
The questioner : In the narration of Ibn Abi Shaybah.
The Shaykh : O Khatib, where is the Khatib? You must have *Tammam al-Mannah*. Bring us the phrase he is referring to.
Another questioner : I think the narration was "he used to order us." The word "order" implies this here.
The Shaykh : No problem, my brother. Our research is not jurisprudential; our research is transmission from a book. We want to see the phrase he is saying. There is an error in the book from the author or the printer.
Another questioner : Until the book is brought, can we develop his question?
The Shaykh : It is possible.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. What is the meaning of the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? Does the start of wiping mean that I wiped in the afternoon, performed ablution for Fajr, and wiped in the afternoon? Do I wipe for one day and night? And if my ablution is broken, for example, at Maghrib, is this considered one wipe or two wipes? How many wipes? How do I proceed, I mean?
The Shaykh : I may have misunderstood you, or I may not have. Clarify your question. Do not repeat it. Clarify your question. Do not repeat it.
