Purity: Is Wudūʾ Valid If the Toes Weren’t Fully Wiped, and Must Past Prayers Be Repeated?
English:
Question #104
For some time I was not wiping the tips of my toes while performing the wiping in wuḍū’. I was only wiping the upper surface of the foot and part of the toes. Is this wiping valid? In case of invalidity, is it obligatory for me to repeat the prayers that I have performed with such wuḍū’?
Answer #104
If the tips of the toes are not covered in the wiping process, the wuḍū’ is invalid and it is obligatory to repeat all the prayers offered with such a wuḍū’. But in case that one knew the ruling and probably he was wiping the tips of the toes during wiping, the wuḍū’s and the prayers offered with them are ruled to be correct.
