			hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa sallahu wa salam wa barakato de
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:04
			Lille alameen Nabina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi Jemaine as salaam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa
barakaatuh.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:45
			Today we're going to start in a new chapter, which deals with wiping over and over Fein. And the
word Hough means anything that you wear on your feet. And this is part of evolution, of course,
because the last pillar of evolution is washing the feet. So if you're going to have shoes, socks,
or whatever on your feet, you won't be able to wash them. And this chapter deals with wiping over
whatever you wearing on your feet.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			The first Hadeeth
		
00:01:50 --> 00:02:07
			narrated aloe vera in shaba, may Allah be pleased with him. I was with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam, he performed evolution. And I was then about to remove his shoes, when he said, leave
them, for my feet were pure when I put them in. So he rubbed over them.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:29
			Now, this hadith tells us that mahira Sharma was helping the Prophet sallallahu Sallam perform
Moodle, which means that it is okay for a search for a person to serve another. So if someone wants
to pour water, so you perform modal, it's okay.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:35
			And Marina shaba, one of the companions of the Prophet alayhi salatu was Salam.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
			Once the Prophet finished wiping his head,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:54
			then it's the turn of the feet. So I'm here I went to take the shoes of the professor off, and the
Prophet told them, leave them for I have
		
00:02:55 --> 00:03:05
			put them on on a bahara. And what does that mean? It means that if a person performs verbal
evolution,
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:14
			and after he washed his feet, he put on his socks, or he put on his shoes.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:50
			He has worn these socks or shoes, while being pure while being tired after performing a dilution. So
this entitles him to wipe over the shoes, or the socks once he notifies his evolution, his wardrobe
and wants to perform evolution again. And this scenario is very easy. You wake up in the morning and
perform evolution. You wash your feet, you put on your socks, you put on your shoes, and you go off
to college or to work
		
00:03:52 --> 00:04:33
			midday, you answer the call of nature. You go to the toilet, go to the bathroom. And then you want
to perform or do so you prepare yourself to the app to the noon prayers. But when you perform
Moodle, should I take off my shoes? Should I take off my socks and wash my feet? The answer would be
no you don't have to do this. Why? Because the Prophet tells us Allah salatu salam, if you have worn
your socks or shoes while you are in the state of purity after performing a volution then all you
have to do is just wipe over them. And this is the sooner
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:41
			but the question would be does anything we were on our feet.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:48
			If we ask for example, Fadi does anything. We were on our feet.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:53
			Apply applies or doesn't have to be shoes.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:05:00
			Anything you can, it could be shoes or socks. And you can put you can just
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:00
			wipe them off.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:06
			So does again The question is to you, does slippers do?
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:20
			slippers? countin? Yeah, I think so. Well, it has to be something that covers the whole foot
slippers do not cover the whole foot there are
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:32
			areas of your feet that are exposed and bare naked so they don't count it they have to cover the
whole foot for it to
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:54
			be allowed to wipe over the shoes or socks. And this is the sooner as we go on breeding the hadiths
Sharla we will learn more and more about the time, about the duration and about the nature of what
we are wearing. The following Hadith
		
00:05:56 --> 00:06:26
			narrated by Ali radi Allahu anhu. If the religion were bested on opinion, it will be more important
to what the under part of the shoe than the upper, but I have seen on this messenger sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam weeping offer the upper part of his shoes. Okay, it's wiping that weeping when we
weeping. We cry. And I hope we don't cry, but it's wiping okay to wipe over the shoes.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:35
			There is a certain now when we wash. Mustafa, when we wash our feet during evolution,
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:39
			what do we wash the upper part or the lower part?
		
00:06:40 --> 00:07:02
			We wash both parts. Okay, that's good. He's awake. That's great. We wash the whole foot. Now, if I'm
wearing my socks, and I want to wipe now one would say okay, this is substituting for washing. So I
think I should wipe both sides.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			Now it says
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:14
			no, this is not the sooner what's the sooner it? May Allah be pleased with him. It says that the
sooner is to wipe over
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:27
			the top of the foot or of the socks. And why is that? Because the sooner and he's saying that, if
this sooner was by
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			logic or reasoning of men, then one would
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:49
			wipe the bottom of the foot because this is the part that steps on dirt steps on filled so it should
be more claimed more than the surface of the foot. And this is not the case.
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:54
			Religion is not my logic, logic or reasoning.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:08:31
			Though lots of it is. But there are certain areas that Allah azza wa jal has made his own. So Allah
does not justify every single thing for you. There are things that it's common sense we can
understand that Allah azza wa jal forbids intoxicants, you know, wine, alcohol, drugs, Allah tells
you this is haram. Anyone with his sound, mind would say, I agree, it's harmful, it could lead to
problems, and it's not healthy. Allah azza wa jal forbids, that
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:44
			one steals from the others, or kills, or farney Cates, because these are all part of the 10
commandments that everyone agrees upon.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:09:03
			Yet there are things in Islam, that we do not know the wisdom behind them. We do not know the logic
and reasoning. So, should we do it? Or should we stop until we know the reason? This is the
difference between the master and a slave?
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			A slave does not question
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:18
			he follows a master with pause and say, I'm not convinced, why should I do this? Why should I
shouldn't I do that?
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:33
			A slave complies with his masters instructions. And this is the case in our in our case. Now Allah
says men must not wear gold.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:50
			Whether watches, rings, whatever. The Prophet says these are forbidden for males. And it's
permissible for females. When you say why that should be sensitive business tells you do it, you do
it.
		
00:09:51 --> 00:10:00
			So one would say okay, what about diamonds? They say Diamonds Are Forever Can we put on
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			Diamonds as male as men.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:06
			What do you think? sambre think not, why?
		
00:10:09 --> 00:11:04
			There's too many ideals behind it. But I think because diamonds are for like women. And secondly,
it's arrogance that shows excessive pride hubris to be like flashing diamonds and gold is basically
the same thing. Okay? This is part of the normal reasoning. Yet when we come to Islamic Sharia, we
find that Allah azza wa jal allows us to wear silver. And the only thing he tells us through His
profit analysis is not to wear his gold. This means that in order for us to make something
forbidden, we have to have the justification. Now, for example, intoxicants wine is mentioned that
the Holy Quran is forbidden, the reasoning, it makes you unaware of what you do. So whatever makes
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:15
			you unaware of what you do, making the wrong decisions, making their own moves. It's considered to
be part of intoxicants, which means heroin and cocaine
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:41
			are considered to be intoxicants. So it's Haram. Why Why are they haram? Because they share the same
reasoning, the same justification. We got come back to golden silver gold allows he did not tell us
why it's Haram. We know it's forbidden. Why? We don't know. So you cannot say well, diamonds,
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			emeralds,
		
00:11:44 --> 00:12:06
			rubies, whatever, are also share the same verdict that is forbidden No. Everything in this world is
permissible for us to use everything. unless Allah specifies that this is haram, then we stop. But
if he does not say it's Haram, we cannot say well, it's arrogant. I know a lot of arrogant people
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:38
			in their garments, without wearing any gold or silver jewelry, their arrogance. arrogance is in the
heart. It's not in what you wear. And you can wear flashy clothes, you can wear designers clothes,
you can write the best cars, but you start humble and loving and caring and giving the poor what
Allah has instructed you to do. And his has nothing to do with arrogance. Fadi
		
00:12:40 --> 00:13:01
			won't say for instance, someone has a golden ring. And he didn't know that gold was haram or, like
not allowed in Islam. So he took it and he changed the outer surface surface of the golden ring into
platinum, for instance. But the core is still like gold. Can you still wear that ring? If it's like
a D ring? Or does he still have to take it off? What is the topic?
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:03
			Mustafa
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:32
			wiping over the shoes wiping over the shoes and socks. So it's a bit a little bit far fetched?
Nevertheless, it's a legitimate question because it's in the topic we're talking about, which is
gold, diamonds, and so on. my cameraman says that we have to pause for a break. Please stay tuned.
And I'll answer your question in sha Allah, right after the break.
		
00:13:44 --> 00:14:05
			Questions that bother you? What about issues of concern to you? Would you like to share things on
your mind with us? Are you interested in solutions based on Islamic perspective? Please join me live
in meet your advisor every Friday at 9pm Mecca time here.
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:07
			TV
		
00:14:31 --> 00:15:00
			aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. Brother, Fadi. Before the break, you had a question? Not related
topic, but nevertheless, as long as you've said it, we have to answer it if we have the knowledge
Sharla to the question again, my question was, I was wondering if someone has a ring like a D ring,
yes, made out of gold. And then he had a change like the outer surface of it only into platinum. Is
it permitted for him to still to wear it still wearing it or not? I'm not sure
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:08
			In physics or chemistry, but I think they have a certain symbol for gold metal, like
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:27
			oxygen is Oh, hydrogen is, ah, there's a certain symbol for gold. Now, if any metal contains this
core, this metal, gold in it, whether you put a coating,
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:38
			outside coating, whether you conceal it in your pocket, it's forbidden for us to use. Now, remember,
there's the yellow gold.
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:51
			And there is a coating, you put on the gold, just to cover the yellowish part and put a white back
whatever. But the core, the metal itself, gold is inside is still
		
00:15:52 --> 00:16:16
			existing. And there there is a third, a substance that some called platinium, or white gold. And it
has nothing to do with yellow gold, except sharing the name like in black gold, that is oil, they
call it sometimes black gold. And it's definitely not forbidden for males to use, otherwise wouldn't
be able to transport from one place to the other.
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:57
			If you have a watch, and the inner parts, the mechanics inside mechanical parts are made of gold,
yellow gold, though nobody can see it, yet still is forbidden for you to use is forbidden for you to
use a golden pen, or to have a key ring that's made of gold, as it is forbidden for us to use gold
period, except in certain cases that were found at the time of the prophet Isaiah Sam such as having
a golden tooth,
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:27
			then this is okay because it's a necessity, it is a form of medication not a form of showing off.
Now, white gold is a different story altogether, because it's a different metal. So it regardless of
the name, the name has no consequences. It's like, for example, it's forbidden for men to wear silk.
That is natural silk. But
		
00:17:29 --> 00:18:20
			I don't know what you call this fabric that is not natural silk, but they call it silk, the
important to some clothings. And it's not as expensive as natural silk, though it shares the name
silk. But because it's not natural, then it's okay for us to use. So we come back to your question.
If you have a golden ring, and you coat it with silver, or with what ever substance, as an outside
layer, it is still forbidden for you to use. We come back to the hadith of it. Now it may Allah be
pleased with him, the cousin of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and the husband of his daughter, the
son in law of the prophets, he was married to Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet that is awesome.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:54
			He is justifying this, the sooner the sooner in wiping over your feet, that is over your shoes or
socks, which you're wearing on your feet. The sudden that is twice only the upper part. The lower
part is against the center. It says it's not logical. But this is religion. Religion is not my
reasoning, or logic because if it were to be by reasoning or logic, then you would pause in so many
things to say,
		
00:18:55 --> 00:19:03
			Gee, I don't believe in this. I don't see what's the reason or wisdom behind this. So I'm not gonna
do it. And this is a big problem.
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:14
			You may succeed in finding the logic or reasoning behind 95% 98%
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:41
			or 99.9%, as in the election, you may find or succeed to find the reasoning behind that. But there
is this point 1% that you did not find the reasoning behind it, though it is there in the Quran.
Although it's there in the center, what will happen? Satan will come and tell you don't accept this.
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:59
			What do you want me to do? reject it? It's in the Quran. Well, even if it's in the Quran, if you
don't know the reasoning behind it, don't, don't don't accept it. And that is why as Muslims, we
follow the instructions of Allah and we follow the instructions of the Prophet. That is a certain
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:09
			without questioning, we may ask, what is the reason behind this? And if we have a reason we tell it
to you. If we don't we say,
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:26
			Well, I don't know. Allah tells us to do this, we do it. And you then have to comply. You don't have
the option of, well, if you don't tell me the reason, I'm not gonna do it. This is unacceptable in
Islam. It's exactly like
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:36
			driving a car. And then there's this red traffic light. You look left and right. There's no traffic.
So why should I stop?
		
00:20:38 --> 00:21:05
			The cops are on the other side, and the guy is waiting in his car with the pad for writing a ticket
and just waiting, make my day making a move. So what do you do? Well, I don't see any reasoning for
me to stop. But the police tells me to stop. So what should I do? What do you do? You stop, nobody
dares and cross a red traffic light when the police are watching. Why? Simply because you know
you're gonna be
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:14
			punished for that. And Allah has the higher example. Allah tells you not to do this, you are not in
a position to say why.
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:42
			Yet, you may ask just to increase your faith and belief. And in this Hadith, the logic is there.
Though Allah, may Allah be pleased with him, said that the reasoning or logic is not clear. It's
clear to us. Now imagine what happens. If you wipe the bottom of your shoes or socks? with wet
hands, what would happen to your hands,
		
00:21:44 --> 00:22:37
			they will become dirty from the dust from the filth, and what will become your shoes. The minute you
stop, out, you step and walk, you're gonna catch more filth and dirt from the floor. So the logic
thing is that you wipe the upper part. And this is symbolic. But we have to do it. And Sharia and
Islam is filled with similar examples where Allah Xhosa is testing you. He's examining you to see
how you comply with what he says. Again, don't mix the role of a servant and the role of a master.
We are servants of Allah, we are the slaves of Allah. He tells us to do something we say semana
Aparna, we have heard and we comply. And we accept whatever Allah tells us. But the minute you say,
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:48
			we have heard, and we disagree, this is the role of the Jews who were commanded to do things, and
they did not follow what Allah azza wa jal has ordered them to do.
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:51
			The following Hadith
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:54
			narrated by safonov na said,
		
00:22:56 --> 00:23:11
			The Prophet sallallahu Sallam used to commend us when we were traveling, not to take off our shoes
for three days and nights, except for sexual impurity, and not to do so on account of eating
ourselves, passing water or sleeping. Okay? this hadith
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:17
			tells us that if a person is traveling,
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:34
			he has the period of three days and three nights, which is equivalent of 72 hours, that he has the
option to wipe over his shoes or socks during this period of three days and three nights.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:36
			Whether he
		
00:23:38 --> 00:24:25
			urinate passes to or falls asleep, he, when he performs a lotion, he all what he has to do is wipe
over his socks or over his shoes with the exception of sexual impurity. And why is that because
sexual impurity requires that you have a total bath you have awesome and you cannot have a total
bath with wiping your socks, you have to take off your socks and shoes, and you have to perform this
total bath morsel or an all and if you find this hadith the following Hadith will elaborate a little
bit on the period in sha Allah. So Hadith number.
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:33
			Yes, Friday. I have a question. So free traveling. So is it better for us to take off the shoes and
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:59
			like fiddle performing ablution to wash our feet? Or is it better for us not to do so. Now is that
is the question Understood? I'm traveling and I have my shoes. I wore my shoes on at the heart and
performed revolution and I'm wearing my shoes. Now it's time for prayer. Should I take off my shoes
and wash my feet? Or is it recommendable to wipe off
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:03
			The shoes, it depends on what you're doing.
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:32
			If you mistake you are in, if I'm in the state on end, I'm having my shoes on, then I wipe on my
shoes, or wipe on my socks. If I don't have them, I wash my feet. scholars say that this is made to
make your life easier. So it is up to you. It is Does this mean that if I started traveling today,
		
00:25:33 --> 00:26:10
			and I have three days, which is Saturday, Sunday and Monday that during these three days, I may not
take off my shoes? No, it depends on what how you feel. So it's not obligatory that someone Well, I
made a mistake. I wore my shoes on Whoo. Now I have to stay three full days three or four nights
without taking off my shoes just to comply with the subpoena. And no one no one says this. But is it
recommendable? Well, if I'm having my shoes on this show, commendable that you wipe over them and
you have no problem in doing this. And this brings us back a little bit
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:13
			to the previous Hadith
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:19
			where it says may Allah be pleased with him wiping over the
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:54
			over the surface of the foot. Now, when you wipe over the foot not underneath the foot, when you
wipe over the shoes or the socks, this does not happen we do not put a water in your hands and you
soak your shoes or socks. It's called wiping it's not called washing. So all you have to do is just
wet your your hands and it's there's no water in it, it's just wet. And you all what you do is once
from the
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:59
			front to the back of your foot on
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:26
			of your foot. Once all what you do is once you don't have to soak it, and a lot of people have this
strong idea of doing it they wet their hands really well and put some water in their hands and then
put it on the socks or on the feet and this is wrong. You are not supposed to wash it, you're
supposed to wipe on it. Again, the Hadith where the prophet SAW Selim
		
00:27:28 --> 00:28:08
			instructed safarnama Sal, may Allah be pleased with him that you may and this is a permission. This
is sooner. You may have three days and three nights to wipe over your socks and shoes when you are
traveling. But how long can I do this? When I'm residing? How long can I do this when I'm in my city
or in my hometown? This is Sharla we will come to discuss in a little bit you know confusing but not
that confusing. Insha Allah next time we meet and until then, Allah wa salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah
wa barakato.
