Yasir Qadhi – Islamic Obligations for a Special Needs Child, Wiping the socks for Wudu Q&A

			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah who Allah Allah he will be here on wala our
question for today. First question a sister a mother says, I have a child who is on the extreme side
of the autistic spectrum severely autistic. What should I do Islamically in terms of obligations on
her as a female child, I love her immensely. I want to go to Jana, so I want to do my best to make
sure that she gets there. So this is the question we're going to start off with autistic child or
let's just make it broader. Any child with special needs any child that is a special needs child
intellectually, and even physically this will be covered here. First and foremost. Dear mother and
		

			dear parents, that Allah subhana wa Tada has chosen to gift a special needs child to because it is a
gift from Allah azza wa jal realize that with this gift, there is also a different type of struggle
and a different type of test. And like all of us have specific trials and tests and gifts and
blessings. So to a child with special needs. It is a gift and a special type of test. And Allah
subhanaw taala gives special tests to special people. Our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
is a famous Hadith all of you should know it, in Allah to Allah either a Hepburn, Coleman EBITA,
Allah. When Allah loves a group of people, he will give them special tests, the Bella the IP Tila
		

			will come for special categories of people. And there is no question that a child that requires more
love and more tenderness and more concern and more care for a much longer period than other
children. There is no question that this is a special blessing struggle that you have that other
people can only imagine can only think about. And our Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam said hadith is
in Tirmidhi in other melges e ma alpha male by law, that the greatness of the reward comes with the
greatness of the struggle. The more was the love, the struggle, the tenderness, the more effort you
have to put, the more will be your urgent with Allah subhanho wa taala. So I remind you, dear
		

			sister, and also dear father and mother, all of you and anybody who has any issue in life that
they're struggling with, I remind you that Allah says in NAMA, you are for Cibona oh god whom
believed it is that every saw that a person Allah will give them back their budget without even
counting. So this is going to be the test of your motherly and fatherly love, that you will continue
to give most other children after a while, then they become semi independent, then they become
dependent, and then they become fully independent, and then we become dependent on them. This is the
cycle of life that is the default. But perhaps in some special needs cases, the child will never
		

			become fully independent, and the parents will continue to give and give and give. So realize that
as you give Allah will give back to you realize that your ADGER is dependent upon your own subber
and your own Eman and indeed, Allah azza wa jal has only put you in this situation, because Allah
knows you can overcome it, and that Allah has chosen to raise your ranks high in Jannah, for your
efforts, and so put in that effort expecting the reward from Allah subhanho wa taala. If our
prophets also reminded us that even a thorn prick will forgive the sins, even the slightest nuisance
will forgive sins. What do you think about having to wake up every single day extra effort for the
		

			child having to feed having to do this and that what do you think if a thorn prick is going to bring
our Bella and our Jessa and Jana, what do you think of love that is shown to another human being to
a son or a daughter that has special needs? So realize that Allah azza wa jal has indeed chosen you
for something that is a test and a trial at some level, but it is a test in a trial that is meant to
increase your Baraka in the Hadith and was study about Muhammad that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam said whenever Allah tests his servant with something, and he is content or Alia, then
Allah subhana wa Tada will give him baraka and increase what he has. And if he is not content, Allah
		

			will take away from him even more and will not give him Baraka. Now, I want to say something dear
parents who are tested with this issue, I swear to you, you are being tested in one way, Yet Allah
has blessed you in other ways, this from the Hadith. If Allah has taken something away from anyone,
then Allah will give him something else that he might not even recognize he'll be in his face, but
the love that will come or the Rama that will come or the Sakina that will come or the positive that
will come from another aspect of his or her life will be something that is gifted because of the
difficult
		

			is that they are in and that's exactly what Allah says for in democracy used to run in Mr. Grocery
you straw and it is through people like you that we the rest of us who are not tested with these
struggles we see the reality of love and Mother motherly love and drama. Yesterday we had a guest
over those of you that were here we saw an amazing example of prophetic forgiveness still walking on
this earth. We saw something that touched our hearts when the father forgives the murder of his own
son for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala what a moving testimony. So Subhanallah you see these
living examples? Then guess what, dear Mother dear father, you become a role model for your family
		

			and friends. They will look at you and they will say subhanallah look at that person's Eman and
Taqwa you might not feel you have the amount of Taqwa and you should not feel that you but others
look at you and others will be inspired by your dedication for in ways you don't even know you will
become a role model SubhanAllah. And their good deeds will be given to you and they will also have
good deeds. In other words, when you are taken as a role model, right? When somebody does a good
deed because of you, Allah will bless the first person and Allah will bless you as well that you are
the one who inspired that person. So when you become a positive role model through your solver,
		

			through your patience, you will become somebody who will get deeds without even recognizing and
knowing it until Judgment Day. And there are reports in the Hadith that people will be rewarded. And
they'll be like, where did this come from? And it will be because of the effects of their good
deeds. So this is the first issue also, by the way, realize that our Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam
showed great kindness to all and he showed especially kindness to children, and to those who were
special needs. There is a Hadith in Sahih Bukhari and SFDA. Malik narrates there was a lady who was
mentally challenged in the life of the prophet CISM. Obviously, every society has people like this,
		

			she wasn't normal. And she walked up to the Prophet system and she said, Yeah, rasool Allah, I have
something very important I need to talk with you about there is nothing important. She's not she's
not going to be protecting against an army. It's in her mind. She's mentally challenged, right? And
she wants to have a session privately, I want to take you away and I want to have something very
important. So our profit and everybody knows she has mentally challenged everybody knows, And
subhanAllah maybe me or somebody else will be okay, maybe another day, just I have no time. This is
the way we are. But he is Rasulullah saw Salam, even though there cannot be anything important that
		

			she has to ask or say. She said, he said to her that yeah, I'm at Allah, Oh, lady, servant of Allah.
Fine. Where do you want me to talk take me to any place and we will go talk. So she took him to some
corner over there. And the other side, we saw her talking with him until he resolved her issue. And
then he came back. Subhanallah This is Rahmatullah Alameen. Somebody who has you for sure whatever
she had, it's in her mind. It's something trivial. And I say this it will I feel guilty that I'm not
able to even do a fraction of this, even though I'm saying the Hadith. May Allah forgive me, for any
for shortcomings, and all of us that this was a lady, she didn't even have a genuine need. And she
		

			was mentally challenged. So if anybody has an excuse to say, Who has time for you, I have to solve
the problems of the Ummah, it should be our Prophet sallallahu sallam, but he said, Yeah, I'm at
Allah, where do you want to have a conversation take me and she takes me anywhere. She took him to
that corner street and I said that in the sukkah Cal Medina, just another alleyway. And she,
whatever the issue was, and so whatever in her mind and the process and spoke with her, and then
came back Subhan Allah, so the mercy and compassion and tenderness should be there. Now. Your
question, dear mother was one that really touched me that Subhanallah honestly, you the email was so
		

			beautiful, you did not complain, you did not say why am I tested it with this? Rather, you said I
love my daughter, I want her to go to Jenna, what a motherly love is this, that Subhanallah I want
to make sure that I'm doing everything that she's done, you know, the question was more detailed,
but prayer and whatnot, and she's an autistic child. So obviously, you understand that, you know,
it's not going to be the same thing here. So she's worried that the child is not necessarily
fulfilling all of the obligations. I don't did not know the age of the child, but I'm assuming that
may be 14 1516 Because she's worried that the child is not doing the regular things of Islam. So the
		

			mother is saying what is my responsibility to this child? So to answer this part of the question, I
say to you that in our Shetty, Allah is indeed our hammer rahimian Well, locally for long enough son
Allah was and realize that by unanimous consensus of all the scholars of Islam, the one who is
mentally incapable the one who is mentally challenged, the obligations are lifted from them the one
who is not able to think critically at all has zero obligations. And this is unanimous consensus
reported in Abu Dhabi with our Prophet so I said I'm said roofing column one Salah three people the
column has been lifted from meaning no hisab no either. No, nothing will happen to them. The column
		

			has been lifted.
		

			From them, number one, the one who is asleep, whatever he doesn't asleep, he's not sinful if he
falls down and accidentally, you know, whatever it is not. Number two, the soleus the child,
accidentally the child might flip a button, something happens, that child is forgiven. And number
three, damaged noon the one who doesn't have Apple until he gets his apple back. So there is no
responsibility on the machine in Arabic is no tech leaf is the term tech leaf is legal burdening or
legal responsibility. And in the famous incident of the one who committed Zina and confessed to the
Prophet sallallahu sallam, so the Prophet system wants to get rid of him because he didn't want to
		

			punish him wants to forgive him wants to be good. So he asked him a series of questions. And one of
the questions he asked him, he asked somebody else is this man known to be much known? Meaning if he
was known to be much noon, then I have nothing to do if he drank if he did something that's not my
business, let him go away. So he asked Is he known to be crazy as mentally incapable, which means
that the kalam has been lifted from him if he was mentally incapable. And as for the issue of the
after, as well even has him says in his fizzle, even has him says, As for the Majnoon, who cannot
think rationally until they pass away, then they shall be like children following the parents
		

			religion, there should be like children who follow the religion of the parents. So if their parents
were believers, then they will be considered believers. And they will die in a state of Eman, and
they will be of the people of gender. So this is the position of heaven has admitted as a logical
one as well, that is not their responsibility to be thinking of this way. Now, you're asking to what
level of responsibility, and I say, nobody can answer this other than you realize, the more the
child or the young man or girl is able to think the more tech leaf comes on them. And the less
they're able to think rationally, the less tech leaf is on them. So it's inversely proportional, the
		

			more rational they are, or sorry, but not directly proportional, the more they're able to think the
more responsibility comes only you know, does your son or daughter understand the time does your son
or daughter understand that how to break and make will do what breaks will do you only understand,
and there are autistic
		

			people that maybe they cannot communicate properly, but they're super geniuses Other than this, and
they can understand everything, but they have a problem communicating. And so they can pray, and
they can fast and they can do will do, but they're socially awkward. They don't, they don't, they
don't know how to speak the way we are accustomed to speaking. And then there are those on the more
you know, extreme side that they cannot think rationally the way they are, maybe they are 15 years
younger, intellectually. So instead of being 30, there, 15 or whatever it is, nobody knows other
than you. And therefore, you be the judge in this regard, and err on the side of mercy and caution,
		

			err on the side of mercy and caution, and you're allowed to test them that Okay, is it time for
Salah yet or not see if they understand or not. And if they're able to, if they are intellectually
able to understand the time and they're able to do the Salah, then you encourage them without being
harsh, because at the end of the day, their framework is different than ours, and their
understanding is different than ours. So now you can only follow nefs and Illa WISA. I'm not saying
let go completely, but also I'm definitely saying don't treat them with any degree of harshness or
strictness. treat them the way that Allah azza wa jal would want them to be treated with witches
		

			with Rama and mercy and Allah azza wa jal will reward you for all that you have done and you will
get the answer for this. So this is the first issue I cannot answer it explicitly, simply because
nobody knows to what level of tech leave other than you, but err on the side of caution. The second
and final question, filthy one, brother emails and says, I pray for her at my workplace every single
day. And obviously it is time for her and I feel uncomfortable washing my feet in the sink for
obvious reasons. I know there's a controversy over Mersa or wiping over the socks Can you please
explain to us and give us what your position is on the wiping over the socks? Okay, so this is the
		

			simple question must Messiah over the socks not over the shoe or over the hole for the leather. So
realize dear brother in Istomin all of us benefit from this brothers and sisters because the rulings
apply to both men and women. There is no difference of opinion between men and women when it comes
to wiping over the socks exactly the same applies to men applies to women realize that wiping over a
full covering that is impermeable from water, which is leather or something of that nature. Wiping
over a full covering of the foot that covers the ankles and is impermeable, is unanimously accepted
by all of the scholars of Islam or I should say all the scholars of Sunni Islam so much so that it
		

			became a point of theology you
		

			find this in Al Qaeda to how we that Sunni Muslims believe it is permissible to wipe over the hoof
which is the letter sock. Why? Because the other non Sunni group said you don't have this thing is
not permissible. So the non Sunni group the famous Nasir is only one on Sunday famous group right?
When I say non Sunni there's one group you should think of. It says you're not allowed to wipe over
the sock and the how odd is that you cannot wipe out the socks and others that you cannot wipe over
sorry, not sock, the leather sock, let's say. So it became a point of theology because so many
ahaadeeth mentioned the prophecies of wiping over the leather sock which is the Hoth in Arabic so
		

			all the muda hip agree and this is something you will find no controversy that if you're wearing a
covering, that covers the ankle, and that is impermeable to water which is leather for example or
anything impermeable to water right. And you have will go and you put your feet into the this shoe
or this leather sock in the state of will do that you may then do masa one day when you're not
traveling. And three days if you are traveling, this is unanimous no acted off. But who wears
leather socks in our times? Nobody. So the FDA laugh comes over what issue this is why I want you to
be clear here. The controversy is over socks that are permeable that's the controversy is not over
		

			Massa some people don't understand say oh, there's a controversy of a masa had no, there is no
controversy over masa has zero. It is by unanimous consensus allowed and even the Quran references
the permissibility of Messiah in Surah tilma in verse six, the famous one and it's a bit advanced
but basically what Abdullah converses while Judah calm, you can explicitly derive Messiah from the
verse in the Quran, wipe over your feet is the verse in the Quran and it can also be read wash over
your feet in the clear out of the Quran. So the point is, it is very, very explicit. Now.
		

			As for the Hadith of the Prophet system, it is motivated over 20 Sahaba reported Messiah overhaul.
And that's why there is no controversy as we said in Sunni Islam. The most famous Hadith, which you
should all be aware of is the hadith of jarred Abdullah Abdullah Al Badgley that god named Abdullah
went to the bathroom really it himself came back and he wiped over the sock. His students said, how
can you wipe over the sock? And he said, why shouldn't I? I saw the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, use the restroom, come back and then wipe over his sock and another version.
		

			The Sahabi said I came down to take the sock off the shoe when I say sock right now think of another
sock to take the hoof out from the Profit System. And he said to me leave it on for I wore them when
I was in the state of voodoo and I saw him wipe over the hoof right wipe over the hoof. And there
are many many narrations in this regard. Ibrahima nahi, the famous chef of Abu Hanifa Ibrahim nahi,
the greatest scholar of Kufa of the students of the sahaba. He said, we would love this hadith of
God diviner, Abdullah because God accepted Islam. After Surah ma Ada was revealed. Now what is the
truth anything Sudha ma ADA is the surah in which Allah talks about will do. Or you will believe
		

			when you stand up to pray, then wash your face and wipe your head and wash your hands and your feet.
This idea isn't Surah tell which one ma either God accepted Islam after my Ada, and Jared is saying
I saw with my own eyes after this verse was revealed, the prophet system did what? Wipe over the
socks, the leather sock. And so a nahi saying we all loved this hadith, because we can use it to
refute those who say wiping is abrogated is not abrogated, the Quran came and the process is still
wiping over the stock sock. So we have all of this and that's when Mr. Manoli says there is Iijima
over anyone whom we care about each ma that it is allowed to wipe over the hoof whether you're
		

			traveling or you're suffering whether you're a woman or a male whether you have a reason or you
don't have a reason you don't even need a reason to wipe over the hoof there is no you don't have to
be sick. You don't have to be traveling only the timeframe differences otherwise there is edge ma
there is no controversy. Okay, now that we've talked about no controversy, so for example, no
controversy will be over mashallah Tabata Cola, Texas boots.
		

			Okay, I have to say this in Texas. So you have the cowboy boots, the cowboy boots mashallah This is
now hoof right there is the Texan Hof so if you're wearing cowboy boots, and you have although when
you wore them by unanimous consensus you can wipe over now I think everybody's gonna go by
		

			cowboy boots to work and now you're going to be real Texan when you go to work you can do Mr over
the cowboy boots, no problem with something like that. Two conditions number one covering the ankle
number two impermeable. Okay, now we get to the controversy. What is the controversy? The
controversy is whether what if it's not a leather sock. As for not covering the ankle, no scholar
says if you wearing a sock that goes below the ankle, you cannot do much no question it has to cover
the ankle. That's clear. Now what if it is not a leather sock and the socks that we were in our
times, right? All of us we wear nylon or cotton or polyester these are the socks that we wear. And
		

			then we put our shoe over that now. This is where the controversy comes. And three of the metal hubs
essentially do not allow wiping over impermeable socks and one of them allows it so the Hanafi
madhhab we have a husky in his a doodle motor. He says that it is only allowed to wipe over a
covering of the of the leg if they are very thick. He doesn't say leather. That's another common
misconception. Some people say honey if you say it has to be leather, no 100 reasons it has to be
leather. The Hanafi say it must be thick, such that you can walk one fossa which is like more than
five kilometres, right? Three, four or five miles you can walk so many miles and you want first off
		

			you can walk with and the and the sock will remain and it will not be Yeah. And so basically it's an
independent shoe almost. Okay, it's an independent shoe. That's what they're saying. And Khaleel in
his motorcycle he says that it is allowed for the male or the female in travel and non travel that
they may wipe over the socks if they are made out of leather. So a leather sock meaning impermeable.
And the same goes for the Shaffir easy mama no, we also have a quote here and others. So the three
madhhab say that it must be an impermeable sock. The one month that is left is which one, the humbly
method and the humbly melt him out of the format hubs. It was very clear that both the leather and
		

			the non leather sock is allowed to do massage over. And this is something that they defended. And
even Kodama in his famous book or movie, he basically mentioned that anything that covers the ankle,
anything that covers the ankle, you can walk a little bit, not five kilometres or so you can just
walk any, it's something that is an independent foot covering, which is basically a new sock of our
times, it takes the ruling of the hoof and you can do massage over it. And even Taymiyah defended
this position and he goes anything that covers the feet, even if it is very thin, as long as you
call it a sock Joe Rob, then it is something that is permissible. And if it has him as well famous
		

			scholar of the past he also said this, and many of the modern scholars as well say this as well the
Methodists and Islami of the robata they have a fatwa on this that it is completely permissible to
do Messiah over cotton and polyester and wool and it is not a condition that they be made out of
leather. Even if the Shaffir isn't magic isn't Hanafy said this they said that is not a condition
and then what is their evidence all of them even Tamia admin has him to humbly met him and many
modern scholars, what is their evidence? The evidence is the authentic hadith and Agudo tell me the
and most of the Imam Ahmed al more here I've been sure about said that I saw the Prophet sallallahu
		

			Sallam he used to do Mercer Island, Joe Rabine when I lean over his Joe Rob and his shoe, now in
Arabic HOath is a sock that is made out of leather. And Jo rub is a sock that is made out of cloth.
And in this hadith, the word Joe would have is mentioned. So he wiped over the job. It's explicit in
the Hadith, and it is an authentic hadith. Now the other three, they either said that, well, he
meant a half. Or they said, Well, this is a job that is impermeable and made out of this and that
and they kind of put all of these conditions on it. Nonetheless, even Taymiyah has a very long
section in his fatawa in which he says
		

			the goal is because of which Allah revealed the wiping over the sock was to make easy will do and
for us to bring so many conditions that are not found in the Quran and Sunnah. It defeats the
purpose of Allah gifting us Messiah Halal Fein. The point is that you make life easy. And Allah
subhanaw taala did not so because when you look at the Hadith, the prophet system did not give any
conditions at all. These are later methods and we respect them, you know my position I was
		

			Back to all the methods. But when there's a diversity of opinion, if you wish to follow a particular
method, no problem for me, and that's why I'm giving you all the methods. That's why I'm presenting
the platter to you. If you want to be a Hanafy, and you want to follow it hamdulillah that's no
problem. But if you ask me, What is my humble opinion, humble, humble opinion, what is my humble,
humble opinion?
		

			Not just because I am humbly overall, because, you know, I told him overall humbly, but it is also
my position that it is permissible for a person to follow another authority and say this position is
the correct one. It's not to be you're not photoshopping you asked me a position, I will give you my
opinion, it is my opinion based on the evidences that number one, it is authentically narrated in
multiple ahaadeeth, that the processing wiped over the job and the job is the word that means a sock
made out of cloth. Number two, the profit system did not put any condition. It is true that most of
the Arabs at that time wore leather socks, but that was the custom. That was the default. So he
		

			Salallahu Salam usually wiped over the leather socks. Therefore that is the default because that's
what they had at that time. Even cloth was a scarcity. By the way, why would you put it on your shoe
when you need something to cover your shoe in that environment? What not so cloth socks were not the
default leather socks were. But in that environment, our profit system, if it was only allowed for
one type, he should have said Messiah has only allowed for hope and not for JIRA, but he didn't, the
Shediac came and allowed it our professors have demonstrated it as allowed. So anyone who puts a
condition, they need to be telling us where these conditions come from and with with utmost respect
		

			to the other three methods, the humble is have a point here, and they've been Tamia says this, the
goal is to make it easy not to make it difficult. So this whole notion of you have to walk 1000
yards, you have to make sure there's no hole the size of this and that if no claim says can you
imagine any Sahabi did not have a hole in his sock. Can you imagine? And this is can you imagine
that everybody has holes in their socks, the Sahaba were dirt poor, you don't think they had a hole
in theirs in their soul to have a condition that the hole cannot be more than 2.7 centimeters, these
things with utmost respect, but you're making the religion these conditions are coming and it goes
		

			against the purpose of Allah revealing concession to us. So both immaterial claim, they are somewhat
defensive of the humbly position and I find myself agreeing with this that yes, you may do Massa
over any SOC as long as it is called the SOC. The Sunnah proves this explicitly, and the goals of
the Shediac prove it implicitly. Is that clear? explained this. The Sunnah proves it explicit
Masada, Joe Rabin, and the hadith is in Abu Dhabi and was sent in by Muhammad by Mohammed shorba.
And the goals of the Sharia approve it implicitly that it is allowed. Now, having said that, the
final point here, what is to be done, if you are wearing a sock that covers the ankle, because as we
		

			said, if the sock does not cover the ankle, there is no discussion, end of story, you have to take
it off and do do also know how to do washing of the feet. Now, what if it covers the ankle, and you
put your shoe on top of the covered sock, but the shoe does not cover the ankle. So we have a number
of scenarios. first scenario, your shoe covers your ankle, in which case clearly you can do massage
over the shoe, you're wearing a boot you're wearing anything that is a big covering, right? Are
these hiking boots that go all the way up clearly that you can do massage over that there's no
question there's no afterlife amongst the homies. And the other three would say only if the shoe is
		

			impermeable, we will give that distinction right. And by the way, most of the shoes here especially
the hiking shoes were not. They are impermeable, they don't want water to seep in. So according to
those better, but will be allowed. It doesn't have to be leather The point is water should not go
into the treatment hubs. The humbler is that even if water goes in doesn't matter. That's the point
you're allowed to do my so clearly the first scenario if the shoe goes above the ankle, all and it
is impermeable, all three methods allow understand. Now the controversy will come if the shoe goes
beneath the ankle, and the sock is above the ankle, which is our culture and custom in the Western
		

			world, most of our fancy shoes are beneath the ankle and the sock is above the ankle. And the
measure this 50 of Europe and others they have spoken about this in detail. And I always like to
quote counsels because then nobody can say it's my personal opinion. Sometimes I will give you my
personal but I tried to avoid that quote you respected scholars and whatnot so that I get out of the
picture. And their position is that
		

			it's an interesting well listen to this in those days. In those days, most of the
		

			Is cloth socks were essentially wrap arounds. In other words, they're not like hours that you pull
them up, it would be a strip and you would wrap your feet.
		

			Right the type of band aid, they will do like that. So it's not a one piece that you pull on. It is
multi layered. Right. And so and the concept that we have of a thin sock to protect you from a you
know, shoe, that type of stuff wasn't in back then this is something now. So the the merge Mark said
that in this case, really if you look at it, as long as you had will do because you I mentioned this
you should all understand if you don't have other than doesn't come you have to have will do in the
morning. Meaning when you when you put your shoes and socks on not in the morning, but whenever you
put your shoes and socks on, you need to have little okay. Now this measurement I said, if you look
		

			at it, this is essentially a multi layered one entity just like imagine if you had a bandaid sock,
and then you took one layer above the ankle, then you went back down into three, four layers on the
foot itself. So the foot is thicker, bandaid wise and above the ankle is one layer it's considered
one item. The point is it is covering the hook home is the same. So they said that given this modern
circumstance, you're not going to find a classical position because this is something new no our
style that we have, they said this class is there that this is one foot piece. So as long as you
wore your sock and your shoe in the state of Ohio in one, we'll do right you understand this point,
		

			you wore your sock and then you wore your shoes and you had will do then you may do Mercer over the
shoe because you essentially wore it as one piece and it can be counted as one piece. Now, if you
		

			take your shoes off according to this position, then you will have an issue and if you don't have
will do when you place the shoe on so then you will have to take your shoe off and then do it with
the sock and this is one opinion even in this issue. Bottom line. Allah knows best but Allah gave
this concession is very clear to make life easy. Allah says wa Jalla la confit Dinniman heritage
there is no difficulty in this religion. Allah says you do lobby como juicer, Allah wants to make
things easy. Our Prophet sallallahu wasallam said in Allahu Taala your Hebrew Rasul Allah loves that
the easy things he has given you, you should take advantage of them, don't reject them. And that's
		

			why in the context of praying for verses to when you're traveling, you're not supposed to pray for
because Allah gifted you you can pray to and Allah wants you to accept his gift. When you're allowed
to pray to her when when when you are actually Mustafa you're supposed to pray to as we all know, it
is against the sunnah to pray for. And in this context our prophets have said Allah loves that when
he's given you a Rojas and easy thing you take advantage of it. So this is even Tamia is fatwa that
the whole concept of Messiah is a Rosa from Allah. So why make it difficult, make it easy, as long
as you have will do and your footwear covers the ankle. Then in sha Allah Allah you may do Massa
		

			over that entire piece, and therefore you do not even have to take your shoe off have the new year
that you're going to do will do in the morning where your socks and your shoes and then for the rest
of the day at work you can do masa even over the shoe. And if you don't remember whether you had
will do for the shoe or not maybe you wore your socks because it's cold these days. Then you put
your shoe on later on if you forgot that, just to be on the safe side, you may take your shoe your
feet out of the the the actual footwear, the shoe and do masa over the socks. But in my humble
opinion, the humbly might have been hazards of poverty, many aroma of our times and more and more of
		

			them of our times even many of the most heavy aroma in our times they are rethinking through they're
looking at all of these exquisite evidences many of the shafr scholars of our times, by the way,
allow Messiah over the job. I was listening to some YouTube video some of the earlier scholars now
even though they're Shafi, and technically they might have does not allow it but one of their great
scholars was saying look, the hadith is very clear. The Molina shorba Hadith that the process and
wiped over the sock, and he said this hadith is very clear. And he's giving the fact one of the main
chefs of SR and he Shafi he's saying the hadith is very clear. So Allah knows best it seems to be no
		

			problem whatsoever to do Massa over any footwear whatsoever that constitutes the footwear. And this
is of the goals of the Sharia and you may do your master 24 hours when you are not traveling and 76
hours three days and nights when you are traveling and shallow data. How can I say no to because you
wake up smell good?
		

			So our brother
		

			was asking a good question that I didn't talk about dismissed I had done on the top or on the
bottom. I live near a body of said Hadith isn't was the Sunnah Buddha would Sunita without I live in
Abu Talib said
		

			if our religion were to be based upon what my logic and reason says, then I would have done Messiah
on the bottom of my sock, my whole life. But I saw the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam do Messiah on
the top of the hoof. This hadith is in Abu Dhabi and eliminate with olive said, if the religion were
to based upon what I think is common sense logic, rationality, then I would have thought massage
should be done at the bottom, but I saw the profits of some do massage on the top and by the way,
the shows that that Messiah has symbolic Messiah is symbolic because you just little bit of drops of
water and you just drop on the top even though we all know when you're walking is going to be the
		

			bottom that is going to be dusty and Sandy and whatnot. This is even taneous point by the way that
Messiah is a symbolic gift like to mom so to add multiple conditions to to your mom defeats the
purpose of the demo to add multiple conditions to massage defeats the purpose of massage. That's the
point of intermediate says Zach Malachy. I will not be here for tomorrow's halacha I'm traveling. So
we shall see you next Tuesday. And then next one is to insha Allah Allah Zarkon Wilkerson
