What is the ruling on separating the fingers?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What is the factor that shifts the ruling?
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : What shifted the ruling from being obligatory to?
The Shaykh : Yes, it shifted it, but there is a distinction: if the fingers are close together, the ruling is obligatory; if they are not close together, the ruling is recommended. This is because if they are not close together and water reaches them, he has complied with what Allah commanded, which is washing his hands and washing his feet. Yes.
And separate the fingers.
