The Ruling on Wiping Over the Khuffs for the Elderly
Regarding the duration of wiping over the khuffs or socks, you mentioned that it is a day and a night, calculated by the hour. I am elderly and always wipe over my socks, but I calculate the duration of wiping by the number of obligatory prayers and not by the hour. Is this permissible for me?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: You should calculate the duration of wiping in hours; because that is more precise and accurate, and God knows best.
