wudu

Salaam,

Brother I've never read that the positioning of the clothes can effect wudu. Since I am female I have to remove my hijab to wipe over my hair and I simply put it back on afterward. I also have to remove my socks and shoes and wash my feet and my clothing is inevetibly higher than my ankles during washing. So what would it matter where your trousers are while washing? As long as you wash the parts of the body that are supposed to be cleansed then the spirit of the rules are followed.

Wasalaam

can we do wudu if our clothes are above our ankles(for men) or must they b below our ankles ?????.......

:salam2:

the pants are supposed to be above the ankles.

there is an issue which some scholars have a disagreement upon which is whether or not a person that has already made wudu, yet broke it later needs to remove his socks. some scholars say that the person is allowed to wipe over the socks if he has made wudu earlier in the day. some of the other scholars look down upon people that do that.

ALLAH SWT knows best

Yes you can as it is makrooh(dislike). You can even do it when you are without clothes, provided you are in an enclosed area.

I cannot find the fatwa

This is entirely my opinion, but I want to mention it anyway.

I dont think that the size of the garment matters. I mean when we shower, we are obviously not entirely covered, yet we perform Wudhu, or during Ghusl. We do not bathe with our clothes on, well not so wrapped (if I can say) at least. Like Sister ShyHijabi said, what matters is that the water gets to where it should and the parts prescribed are cleansed thoroughly. Some people find it easier to perform Wudhu without clothes on. I dont mean entirely unclothed, I mean example, some may perform their Wudhu (not including Istinja) in a bath tub, so a shower basically without washing hair. So yeah, I guess it doesnt really matter. The Brothers are going to get you a fatwa anyway. :)

Assalamualaikum
