over a torn one, and the foot is covered by both, it is possible that it is like the one before it; because the foot is covered by the two khuffs, so it resembles the one covered by two intact khuffs, or one intact and one torn. It is also possible that it is not permissible, because the foot is not covered by an intact khuff, unlike the one before it.

Section: If he puts on the khuff after a purification (tahara) in which he wiped over a turban, or puts on the turban after a purification in which he wiped over the khuff, some of our companions said: The apparent meaning of Ahmad's words is that wiping is not permissible, because he put them on while in a state of purification that was achieved by wiping over a substitute, so he does not gain the permissibility of wiping by putting them on, just as if he had put on a khuff over a purification in which he had wiped (11) over a khuff. Al-Qadi said: It is possible that wiping is permissible; because it is a complete purification, and each of them is not a substitute for the other, unlike a khuff worn over a khuff that has been wiped over.

Section: If he applies a splint (jabirah) while in a state of purification, then wipes over a khuff or a turban during it, and we hold that purification is not a condition for it (the splint), then wiping is permissible in all cases. But if we stipulate purification for it, it is possible that it is like a turban worn while in a state of purification in which he wiped over the khuff, and it is possible that wiping is permissible in all cases; because wiping over it is a definitive ordinance (azima). If he puts on the khuff while in a state of purification in which he wiped over the splint, it is permissible to wipe over it; because it is a definitive ordinance, and because if it (the purification) is deficient, it is a deficiency that has not ceased, so it does not prevent the permissibility of wiping, like the deficiency in the purification of a woman suffering from chronic vaginal discharge (mustahada) before her excuse has ended. If he applies the splint while in a state of purification in which he wiped over the splint, wiping is permissible, for the reason we have mentioned.

79- Issue: He said: (A day and a night for the resident, and three days and their nights for the traveler.)

Ahmad said: The time-limit is what I have established regarding the wiping over the two khuffs. It was said to him: Do you hold this view? He said: Yes, and it is supported by several perspectives. This is what was said by Umar, Ali, Ibn Mas'ud, Ibn Abbas, Abu Zayd, Shurayh, Ata, al-Thawri, Ishaq, the Ahl al-Ra'y, and it is the apparent madhhab of al-Shafi'i. Al-Layth said: He may wipe for as long as he wishes. Malik said the same regarding the traveler. Regarding the resident, he has two narrations: one of them is that he wipes without a time-limit. The second is that he does not wipe; due to what
