Best of you

40. "The most beloved of people according to Allah is he who brings most benefit, and the most beloved of deeds according to Allah the Mighty, the Magnificent, is that you bring happiness to a fellow Muslim, or relieve him of distress, or pay off his debt or stave away hunger from him. It is more beloved to me that I walk with my brother Muslim in his time of need than I stay secluded in the mosque for a month. Whoever holds back his anger, Allah will cover his faults and whoever suppresses his fury while being able to execute it, Allah will fill his heart with satisfaction on the Day of Standing. Whoever walks with his brother Muslim in need until he establishes that for him, Allah will establish his feet firmly on the day when all feet shall slip. Indeed, bad character ruins deeds just as vinegar ruins honey." [Tabarâni, Hasan]

Quotes to remember

22. `Umar ibn Abdul Aziz wrote to one of his governors and said, “Do not punish at the time of anger. If you are angry with any man, keep him in detention. When your anger is appeased punish him in proportion to his crime.”

The Ruling on Wiping over the Socks in the Summer without an Excuse

Question:

I notice some worshippers wiping over their socks when making Wudhu, even in the summer! Please give me a verdict as to the permitted latitude of this, and (tell me) which is better for the resident, ablution including washing of the feet, or wiping over the socks, bearing in mind that those who wipe over their socks have no excuse, except that they say that it is permitted?
Answer:

The generality of the authentic Hadiths which prove the permissibility of wiping over the Khafif and Jawarib shows that it is allowed to wipe over them in winter and summer, and I know of no legal evidence to prove that it is only permitted in winter. But it is not permitted to wipe over socks or any other such footwear, without fulfilling the necessary legal conditions, including the stipulation that the sock covers the required area of the foot and that the sock is put on while the wearer is in a state of Taharah and that the time limit - which is a day and a night for the resident and three days for the traveller - is observed, beginning from the first time they are wiped over following the loss of Wudhu, according to the most correct of two opinions held by the scholars. And Allaah is the Granter of success.
