Question 6

Apply qiyas for the method of wiping

Answer 6

• If we apply qiyas (logical reasoning), all of the foot is washed in wudhu, so one would assume that when wiping, this would include the whole foot.
• However there is Istihsaan in this ruling
• Ali (ra): ‘If religion was based on an opinion (logic), it would be more important to make masah on the
  under part of the leather sock rather than the upper…” (Abu Dawud)
• This is a Hanafi position.
