Is the day or night referred to in the timing of wiping twenty-four hours? Or what?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Question.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
Al-Halabi : Our Shaykh, some scholars have an opinion regarding the timing of wiping that we would like to clarify. They say that the day and night mentioned in the hadith do not mean twenty-four hours. That is, if you wipe at 'Asr, you wipe until 'Asr the next day. Rather, from 'Asr to 'Isha' marks the end of that day and night, so at Fajr you perform a new wiping or a new washing. This is the day and night. The rest of the day is included in this day and night. As for the next day, from Fajr and Dhuhr and 'Asr until 'Asr—meaning the time of the first wiping—that has no bearing on this. So what is the response and clarification, O Shaykh? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : They say that when a matter becomes narrow, it becomes broad. I said earlier that he wipes one minute before Maghrib. Now we are developing the discussion to the extent of the development of the question. A man wiped one minute before Maghrib. According to what you reported, until when does he wipe?
Al-Halabi : Until Fajr.
The Shaykh : Yes, is this the wiping of his day?
The questioner : From that minute, he has the remainder of the day, so it is so.
The Shaykh : No, never mind. Linguistically, it is said that he wiped for a day. As for him wiping for a night, yes, but he wiped for a day because he wiped one minute before the night began, so it is said he wiped for a day.
The questioner: No.
The Shaykh : So this narrowing of what Allah has broadened means we must understand from the words "day and night" twenty-four hours.
The questioner : The amount is not the...
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner: May Allah reward you with all good.
The Shaykh : And to you.
The questioner : Regarding the wiping.
The Shaykh : I think you have messed up the turn, especially since the turn belongs to the owner of the house, so I do not know and I do not open the turn for him. Yes.
The questioner : The questions are important, O Shaykh. May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : Without a doubt, and in return, they also benefit from your questions. May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
