What is a cast, and how does the person wearing it perform ritual purification?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : Regarding the cast, is it wiped like the wiping of socks, or not?
The Shaykh : What did you say?
The questioner : Is it wiped like socks, or not, the cast?
The Shaykh : Yes, the cast: meaning the cloth tied over a wound or a fracture is not like socks. This is wiped for both minor and major ritual impurity, and it is not required that it be placed on a state of ritual purity. It has no time limit, and the entire surface is wiped. This is unlike socks, where it is necessary that they be placed on a state of ritual purity, they are not wiped except for minor ritual impurity, they have a limited time period, and most of their outer surface is wiped, but it is not obligatory to wipe the entire surface. So there are differences between the two. May Allah reward you.
