Al-Sharḥ al-MumtiʿIbn al-'Uthaymin

one is not required to be free of physical impurity in order to touch a copy of the Quran; rather, one must be in a state of ritual purity.

However, if he makes leather socks from the tanned hide of an animal found dead, from an animal that would be lawful if ritually slaughtered, then this depends on the scholarly disagreement (1):

If we say that it is not purified—and this is the established position of the school—then wiping over it is not permissible.

But if we say that tanning purifies it, then wiping over it is permissible.

The reason purity is stipulated is that wiping over something intrinsically impure only increases its defilement. Indeed, if a wet hand comes into direct contact with this impurity, it becomes impure.

This may perhaps also be inferred from the Prophet’s words, peace and blessings be upon him: “For I put them on while they were pure” (2).

However, the meaning of the hadith is: “I put them on”—that is, the feet—while they were in a state of purity, as is explained by some versions of the wording (3).

Permissible …

His statement, “permissible”: this excludes what is prohibited. This is the third condition, and that which is prohibited is of two types:

(1) See p. 85. (2) Narrated by al-Bukhari, Book of Ablution, chapter: “If he puts on his khuffs while his feet are in a state of purity,” no. 206; and Muslim, Book of Purification, chapter: “Wiping over the khuffs,” no. 274, on the authority of al-Mughirah ibn Shubah. (3) Narrated by Abu Dawud, Book of Purification, chapter: “Wiping over the khuffs,” no. 151, with a sound chain from al-Mughirah, traced back to the Prophet: “...for I put my feet into the khuffs while they were in a state of purity.” Al-Bukhari also used it as the heading of a chapter; see the preceding hadith. Ibn Hibban also narrated, no. 1324, with a sound chain, that the Prophet said: “...when he has purified himself and put on his khuffs, let him wipe over them.” Ibn Khuzaymah authenticated it, no. 192.
لا يُشترط للَمْسِ المصحف أن يكون متطهِّراً من النَّجاسة، ولكن يُشترط أن يكون متطهِّراً من الحدث. أما لو اتَّخذ خُفًّا من جلد ميتة مدبوغ تحلُّ بالذَّكَاة، فإِن هذا ينبني على الخلاف (١): إن قلنا: لا يطهرُ ـ وهو المذهبُ ـ لم يَجُز المسح عليه. وإن قلنا: يطهُر بالدَّبغ جازَ المسحُ عليه. ووجه اشتراط الطَّهارة: أن المسحَ على نجس العين لا يزيدُه إلا تلويثاً، بل إن اليد إذا باشرت هذا النَّجسَ وهي مبلولةٌ تنجَّست. وربما يُؤخَذُ من قول النبيِّ ﷺ: «فإِنِّي أدخلتُهما طاهرتين» (٢). لكن معنى الحديث أدْخَلتُهما، أي: القدمين طاهرتين، كما يفسِّره بعض الألفاظ (٣). مُبَاحٍ .............. قوله: «مباحٍ»، احترازاً من المحرَّم، هذا هو الشَّرط الثَّالث، والمحرَّم نوعان:
(١) انظر: ص (٨٥). (٢) رواه البخاري، كتاب الوضوء: باب إذا أدخل رجليه وهما طاهرتان، رقم (٢٠٦)، ومسلم، كتاب الطهارة: باب المسح على الخفين، رقم (٢٧٤) من حديث المغيرة بن شعبة. (٣) رواه أبو داود، كتاب الطهارة: باب المسح على الخفين، رقم (١٥١). بإسناد حسن عن المغيرة مرفوعاً: « … فإني أدخلت القدمين الخفين وهما طاهرتان». وبوّب به البخاري، انظر الحديث السَّابق. وروى ابن حبان رقم (١٣٢٤) بسندٍ حسن عن النبي ﷺ قال: « … إِذا تطهَّرَ ولبس خفيه فليمسحْ عليهما». وصَحَّحه ابنُ خزيمة رقم (١٩٢).
