[Machine] So he told me, and I saw Abu Dhabian standing in the mosque, so I said, "This is Abu Dhabian." I went to him and asked him about the hadith and what is known about Ali, that he washed his feet when performing ablution like the Prophet ﷺ, and that he did not differ from the Prophet ﷺ. As for wiping over the sandals, it is included in washing the feet with the sandals, and wiping over the sandals is permissible for those who cover their feet with socks, as they are not considered the place of washing. He said, "The basic ruling is that washing the feet is obligatory except for what has been specifically mentioned in the established Sunnah or agreed upon without any difference of opinion. Wiping over the sandals or socks is not the same, and Allah knows best."
