Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The issue of performing wudu' from what has been touched by fire, O Shaykh, I read a hadith in Muslim ... Is there a statement?
The Shaykh : Yes, there is a statement, but this statement is based on the recommendation.
The questioner : What is it, O Shaykh, if you remember it?
The Shaykh : The command of the Messenger (peace be upon him), so he said:.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : This is the statement.
The questioner : Is this for the recommendation?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : How is it interpreted as a recommendation, O Shaykh, when it is a command?
The Shaykh : They said the Messenger (peace be upon him) performed wudu' after eating what had been touched by fire, and then he did not repeat the wudu'.
The questioner : So there is no contradiction between the action and the statement here?
The Shaykh : No, its form is such that it did not repeat first, and then the actions of the Companions did not support this interpretation that the command is for the recommendation. And Jabir said: "The last of the two things from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was leaving the wudu' from what was touched by fire."
