for ignorance is to ask. It would have sufficed him to perform tayammum, tie a piece of cloth over his wound, and then wipe over it.” Narrated by Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah, and authenticated by Ibn al-Sakan.

Areas of the covering that are wiped:
• The upper surface of the khuff or sock is wiped.
• Most of the turban is wiped, specifically its circular bands.
• The entire jibīrah (splint) is wiped.

The manner of wiping over the khuffs is to place the wet fingertips on the toes and draw them up toward the shin—wiping the right foot with the right hand and the left foot with the left hand—spreading the fingers while wiping and not repeating the action.

May Allah grant us all beneficial knowledge and righteous deeds.
