Question:
This questioner from the Eastern Region, Abu Abdullah, is asking about the meaning of the hadith:Sunan Ibn Majah 453Sahih (Darussalam) He says: What is its authenticity and what is its meaning? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The hadith is valid. Its meaning is that washing is obligatory; because he saw them (peace and blessings be upon him) on one of his journeys... their heels had not been washed, so he said:Sunan Ibn Majah 453Sahih (Darussalam) meaning: wash them. A person washes his foot with the heel just as he washes his hand with the elbow. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says regarding the feet: [Al-Ma'idah: 6] So the ankle is washed with the heel and is not left out. When he washes his feet in the ablution, he washes the entire feet with the ankle and with the heel, the back of the foot. Yes.
