Alhamdulillah. Continuing.

Where we left off in the conditions and rules rulings regarding wiping over a person's footwear. wear instead of washing the feet for woo. The author is listing the conditions that make wiping over a person's footwear a substitute or something that is valid. a valid substitute in place of washing the feet for woo. One of the things that he mentions here is so what we mentioned yesterday is that a person has to put the footwear on the shoes, the socks, whatever it is person must put them on after having or with full woo woo that he made having washed his feet. And the next thing is the time limit. There is a time limit and that time limit is 24 hours a day and night for a resident, three days and three nights for a traveler. Now this is often confused. It's not a day and night from the time you put the footwear on. That's not when it starts. Nor does that timer start when a person breaks his wool. It starts when a person makes woo and wipes over them for the first time. I'll give you an example. Person wakes up in the morning. They make woo. They put on the socks or the shoes, whatever it is. And they make they break their wudoo you know between and then when they go to make they make woo and wipe over their socks. Now when does the timer start? It starts at so the next day at he would have to take those socks off and wipe over them. Now let's say the person Now this is a timer for what? Is this a timer for the woo or is this a timer for wiping over the socks? wiping. Pay attention. I'm going to give you this scenario. He wakes up. He makes wudoo. Puts on his socks. He makes fud. He breaks his wul between and vul rolls around. He makes woo. Wipes over his socks. We have what? 24 hours. So the next day, the next day comes around just before say an hour before half an hour before he makes woo and wipes over his socks. Still not time yet, right? Okay. And then starts. Does he have to make woo again? No, he has woo. Wiping stops at 24 hours, not the woo itself, right? He makes wuboo beforeh. He wipes over the socks. He has woo until he had a very conservative diet that day. Okay? and he makes with the same that he did before when he wiped over his socks. That woo is correct. It's good. Now he goes to bed. He wakes up for fud. He makes woo. Now what does he have to do? Take the socks off and wash the feet. So the time for wiping stops at the first time he wipes over the footwear to make woo. The first time let's say that he uses them for wiping. That's when the timer starts. And the timer is only for what? For wiping. It's not for the woo itself. This isn't like is very different. itself no longer takes the place of wool. Once a person finds water, once a person has access to water. So a person doesn't have water, they have no abil no way to to obtain water, they make they make they make they find water immediately. minimum is what done immediately right very different between that and that this doesn't affect a person's woo it affects wiping over the footwear so it is one day and night for the resident person who is a non-traer and it is three days and their nights with for a or three nights and their days for a traveler yakulu.

Muslim Muslim reports on the authority of Ali who says the messenger of Allah sallall.aii alaihi wasallam has appointed three days and three nights. Three days and their nights for the traveler and one day and one night for the resident. Exactly what we just discussed. forch.

In it. He mentions now the place that the person would wipe over. When you go to wipe, we've discussed this before. How to wipe. he mentions another statement of which is beyond just the ruling of wiping over a person's socks. He says if this religion if the religion was based on opinion and based on you know opinion and pure human logic human logic then wiping over the footwear would be on the bottom not on the top and I saw the messenger of Allah sai wasallam when he would wipe over his footwear he'd wipe over the top. Now, what does he mean by this? Well, what part of the what part of the foot is most in need of being cleaned if that were the case would be the bottom. That's the that's the part of the foot that sees the most action. Right? However, it is not an issue of opinion. This is an issue that is beyond human logic. This is supraational. It is above human rationale. We This is a purification that is beyond our physical material world. We don't know how it works. There's a mechanics to it. We don't know what that mechanics is. So we cannot judge and give our opinion based on our experiences. This is something that you see the messenger do you do. That's it. He says and then what is wiping? Well, the correct opinion because it has not been identified by the messenger of Allah sall.ai wasam as having a a minimum or a maximum. But wiping is the same as washing for wudoo and that is what is washing? Washing is whatever the word means in the Arabic language which is to run water over a surface. That is what washing is in the Arabic language. So when Allah says wash your faces, that's what that means. And the same thing with wiping. What is wiping? Wiping is whatever is considered wiping in the Arabic language. And wiping in the Arabic language is any action that is properly identified as wiping. So if I were to wipe outwards, if I were to wipe one at a time, if I were to wipe with a finger, if I were to wipe with my whole hand, all of that is wiping. Correct? Yes. There is a way that the prophet did it. Sallallah.aii wasallam. We mentioned that already. However, wiping is whatever wiping is in the Arabic language. This is something that is referred to the Arabic language because all of it is referred to the Arabic language unless otherwise stated because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala instilled the meanings of the Quran in the Arabic language. He says, and subhanahua and subh. And.
