Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : His EminenceThe Shaykh : If a person performs wudu' and, upon finishing, finds that he did not complete the wudu' for part of his limbs, should he wipe over that part or repeat the wudu' from the beginning?
The Shaykh : First, your question about wiping is not correct, because there is no wiping except on the head.
The questioner : It is a small part, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes, even if it is a small part, it must be washed. However, he should wash it and whatever comes after it. For example, if it is in the hands, we say: wash the part that water did not reach, wipe your head and ears, and wash your feet. If it is in the feet, we say: wash it only, because there is nothing after the feet. Yes.
