Anas narrated, in a hadith traced back to the Prophet: “When one of you performs ablution and puts on his khuffs, let him wipe over them and pray in them, and, if he wishes, not remove them except when he enters a state of major ritual impurity.” Al-Hākim narrated it and declared it authentic.1
35—If any of the parts washed in his ablution has a splint over a fracture or medication over a wound, and washing it would harm him, he should wipe over it with water when purifying himself from either major or minor ritual impurity, until it heals.2
36—The manner of wiping over the khuffs is to wipe most of their upper surface.
37—As for a splint, he should wipe over its entire surface.
(1) Narrated by al-Hākim (1/181), who said, “It is authentic according to Muslim’s criteria”; also by al-Dāraqutnī (1/203) and al-Bayhaqī (1/289). See al-Zaylaī’s *Nasb al-Rāya* (1/179). *Subul al-Salām* (1/313) states: “The hadith establishes that ritual purity is a prerequisite. Although it leaves the duration unrestricted, it is qualified by the prescribed time limit, as indicated by the hadith of Safwān ibn Assāl and the hadith of Alī—may Allah be pleased with them both.”
(2) The Shaykh explained that wiping over a splint does not require prior ritual purity, whether the wrapping covers only the area requiring it or extends beyond it. However, if one can reduce the extent of the wrapping, one must do so. *Al-Mukhtārāt*, p. 16.
عن أنس مرفوعًا: "إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ أَحَدُكُمْ، وَلَبِسَ خُفَّيْهِ فَلْيَمْسَحْ عَلَيهِمَا، ولْيُصَلِّ فِيهِمَا، ولا يَخْلَعْهُمَا إِنْ شَاءَ إلا مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ". رَوَاهُ اَلْحَاكِمُ وَصَحَّحَهُ١.
٣٥- فَإِنْ كَانَ عَلَى أَعْضَاءِ وَضُوئِهِ جَبِيرَةٌ عَلَى كَسْرٍ، أَوْ دَوَاءٌ عَلَى جُرْحٍ، وَيَضُرُّهُ اَلْغُسْلُ: مَسَحَه بِالْمَاءِ فِي اَلْحَدَثِ اَلْأَكْبَرِ وَالْأَصْغَرِ حَتَّى يَبْرَأَ٢.
٣٦- وَصِفَةُ مَسَحِ اَلْخُفَّيْنِ: أَنْ يَمْسَحَ أَكْثَرَ ظَاهِرِهِمَا.
٣٧- وَأَمَّا اَلْجَبِيرَةُ: فَيَمْسَحُ على جميعها.
١ رواه الحاكم "١٨١/١" وقال: صحيح على شرط مسلم، والدارقطني "٢٠٣/١"، والبيهقي "٢٨٩/١"، ينظر: نصب الراية للزيلعي "١٧٩/١"، قال في سبل السلام "٣١٣/١": والحديث قد أفاد شرطية الطهارة، وأطلقه عن التوقيت فهو مقيد به، كما يفيد حديث صفوان بن عسال، وحديث عليّ، ﵄.
٢ بيَّن الشيخ: أن مسح الجبيرة لا يشترط له تقدم طهارة، وسواء كان الشد على محل الحاجة أو زائدا على ذلك، إلا أنه إذا أمكنه أن يختصر الشد وجب عليه. "المختارات، ص: ١٦".
