Making masah on the khuff
Question
1. If a person fulfils all the four faraiz of wudhu and puts on the khuffayn, can he offer salah?
2. Later after performing full ablution, can he wipe over that (do masah on khuffs and read salah)?
3. The farz of washing the feet,including heels. Does a person have to pass water i .e. do khilaal between fingers? Is it a farz too?
Answer
1. Yes
2. Yes. The one who is not a musaafir can make masah on the khuff for one day and one night and the one who is musaafir can make masah on the khuff for three days and three nights.
3. Ensuring that the water reaches the entire feet including the area in between the toes is fardh. Making khilaal of the fingers and toes are Sunnat-e-Muakkadah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
