5.0 WIPING ON THE KHUFFS
5.1 Its Permissibility
1. Wiping on the khuffs is permissible, based on the sunnah, from every hadath necessitating wudu’, provided one wore the khuffs in a state of complete purity and then underwent hadath [after that].
Wiping on the khuffs is not permissible for one on whom ghusl is obligatory.
2. If one is resident, one may wipe a day and a night. If one is a traveller, one may wipe three days and nights. The start [of the time limits] is after the [first] hadath.
One who began wiping while resident, and then travelled before the end of a day and a night, may wipe three days and nights. One who began wiping while travelling, and then took up residence, then if he had wiped a day and a night or more, he is required to remove his khuffs and wash his feet. If he had wiped for less than a day and a night, he may complete his wiping [until] one day and night [have passed completely].
3. It is not permissible to wipe on a khuff containing a big tear from which is visible the extent of three toes, but if [the tear] is less than that it is permissible.
4. Wiping is not permissible on socks, according to Abu Hanifah, unless they are [either] covered with leather, or soled. Abu Yusuf and Muhammad said : It is permissible to wipe on socks if they are thick, not transmitting the water.
5. One who wears jurmuq over his khuffs may wipe over them.
6. Wiping on turbans, caps, scarves or gloves is not permissible.
7. It is permissible to wipe on a splint, even if it was fastened without [prior] wudu’. Then, if it fell off without healing, the wiping is not invalidated. But, if it fell off after healing, the wiping is invalid.
5.2 Its manner
Wiping on the khuffs is on their outside, in lines with the fingers, starting from the tips of the toes [and continuing] to the shin. The obligatory part of that is the extent of three fingers of the smallest on the hand.
5.3 Its Invalidators
The wiping is invalidated by:
1. That which invalidates wudu’, as well as
2. Removing the khuff, and
3. Expiry of the time limit. If [only] the time limit expires, one removes one’s khuffs and washes one’s feet and pray, and one is not obligated to repeat the remainder of the wudu’.
