Ruling on wiping the elbow due to tight sleeves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
You say: She is a student, as you mentioned, in school, and when she wants to perform wudu, her garment does not rise above her elbow because of the tightness of the sleeve. Is she permitted to wipe?
Answer:
She is not permitted to do that, and she is not permitted to wear tight clothing. This is not permissible. Rather, she must wear clothing that can be pulled up from her elbow so that she can wash her elbow. The elbow is part of the arm, and it is obligatory; she must wash her arm along with the elbow. It is obligatory for her to abandon this tightness and wear clothing with which she is able to wash her elbows. Yes, we ask Allah for guidance for everyone.
The presenter: O Allah, amen.
