Purity: Method of Wiping the Feet

Practical Laws of Islam as per the teachings of Ayatullah Sistani

Ruling 253

With regard to the wiping of the feet, it is not necessary for one to place his hand on the tips of the toes and to then draw his hand to the back of the foot; rather, one can place his whole hand on his foot and draw it back a little.
