Wiping Over the Khuffayn – Maliki Fiqh
Description
Help young learners understand al-mash ʿalal-khuffayn (wiping over leather socks) through this practical lesson.
This lesson guides young Muslims to appreciate Allah’s kindness in making wudu easy for us. They learn that instead of always washing their feet, they can wipe over their khuffayn (special leather socks), following the blessed practice of our beloved Prophet ﷺ and his Companions.
This lesson nurtures yaqīn (certainty) about Allah’s mercy by teaching children that mash means gently wiping over something with a wet hand. Young Muslims discover that when washing feet becomes difficult, Allah permits us to wipe over khuffayn instead, showing how kind Allah is and how easy our beautiful religion of Islam truly is.
The lesson provides clear, step-by-step instructions: wet your hands, gently wipe over the top of your khuffayn starting from your toes going up to your ankle, and it’s mustahabb (recommended) to also wipe the bottom. Children learn they only need to wipe once, not three times like other wudu parts.
