Issue: If the duration of wiping is completed, does the ablution become invalid?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : If someone were to ask: If the duration is completed, does the ablution become invalid or not?
The answer is: It does not become invalid. If the duration is completed and he is in a state of ritual purity, let him remain in his state of ritual purity until he breaks it, and then he should not wipe until he performs the ablution.
What is the evidence that ritual purity does not become invalid by the completion of the duration?
The answer is that we say: What is the evidence that ritual purity becomes invalid by the completion of the duration? There is no evidence. The scholars who said that ritual purity becomes invalid by the completion of the duration do not have evidence. Is the original state the continuation of ritual purity or its invalidation?
The student: The continuation.
The Shaykh : The original state is the continuation of ritual purity, because it was completed by virtue of a legal proof. What is completed by virtue of a legal proof cannot be lifted except by a legal proof. Search in the Sunnah for evidence that if the duration of wiping is completed, the ablution becomes invalid. Search until the last day of your life, you will not find anything. The Sunnah indicates that if the duration is completed, the wiping is completed, and there is no wiping after the completion of the duration.
And we say: Do not wipe, but your ritual purity remains as long as you wiped before the duration was completed, even if it was by five minutes. So continue in the state of ritual purity you are in until your ritual purity is broken.
The answer is: It does not become invalid. If the duration is completed and he is in a state of ritual purity, let him remain in his state of ritual purity until he breaks it, and then he should not wipe until he performs the ablution.
