English Translation

Ali (rad) (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that if the religion were based on opinion, it would be more important to wipe over the under parts of the leather socks than the upper, but I have seen Allah’s Messenger (rad) wiping over the upper parts of his leather socks. .
