Question
What is the duration of the allowance to wipe over the socks for the traveler?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The duration of wiping for a traveler is three days and their nights, starting from the time of the event; as reported by Ali : "The Messenger of God, peace be upon him, made three days and their nights for the traveler, and one day and night for the resident," in Sahih Muslim 1: 232, and the wording is his, and in Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 1: 97, and in the Musnad Al-Mustakhraj 1: 330, and in Al-Mujtabi 1: 84. See: Umdat Al-Ri'ayah 1: 114, Sharh Al-Wiqayah p. 116, and Al-Maraqi p. 131, and God knows best.
