A man traveled in a state of ritual purity while wearing leather socks, then began purifying himself with dry ablution and did not wipe until two days later, then he found water and wiped. When does the period for wiping begin?

The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : May Allah forgive you. A man purified himself and put on leather socks, then traveled and began purifying himself with dry ablution without having wiped until two days later, then he found water and wiped. When does the period for wiping begin?

The Shaykh : Yes, if this man purified himself and traveled before he wiped, do you understand? Or after he wiped?

The questioner : No, before he wiped.

The Shaykh : Before he wiped. We say now, as long as his purity is by dry ablution, it is not counted for him. But if he finds water, the precaution for him, if three days have passed, is that he should wash his feet. If he started wiping from the first time he found water, he owes nothing. But the precaution that puts the mind at ease is to say to him: if three days have passed, then from the state of ritual impurity after which you performed dry ablution, take off the leather socks and wash your feet.

The questioner : Oh Shaykh
