Is the glove analogous to the leather sock?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : May Allah preserve you, O Shaykh. Is the glove analogous to the leather sock?
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : The glove is like the leather sock.
The Shaykh : Yes, it is not analogous. This is because the leg is in great need of it, and because when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution during the expedition to Tabuk, he was wearing a tight-sleeved robe. He was unable to pull it up in this manner to break it, so he pulled his hand out of the sleeve and lowered it from the bottom of the robe. This indicates that there is nothing on the hand that is wiped, neither over socks nor anything else.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : That is, what is permissible. There is nothing on the hand that is wiped from among the parts that must be covered.
