🥿 Sharʿī Ruling on Wiping Over Shoes Above the Ankles
❓ Question:
What is the ruling on performing masḥ (wiping) over shoes in wuḍū?
📖 Answer by:
Shaykh ʿAbd al-Wakīl Nāṣir (ḥafiẓahullāh)
📌 Ruling and Condition:
- If the shoes cover the ankles (i.e., extend above the ankles),
they are considered similar to khuffayn (leather socks) in Islamic law. - Therefore, masḥ over such shoes is permissible, just as it is allowed over khuffayn.
✅ Summary:
✔ Condition: Shoes must completely cover the ankles.
✔ Ruling: In such a case, wiping (masḥ) is valid during wuḍū.
❌ Shoes below the ankles do not qualify for masḥ.
