( و يتقي الرفث ) .... ( وعمامة ) وقلنسوة ( وخفين إلا أن لا يجد نعلين فيقطعهما أسفل من الكعبين ) عند معقد الشراك فيجوز لبس الزرموزة لا الجوربين

قال الشامي: قوله ( عند معقد الشراك ) وهو المفصل الذي في وسط القدم كذا روى هشام عن محمد بخلافه في الوضوء فإنه العظم الناتىء أي المرتفع ولم يعين في الحديث أحدهما لكن لما كان الكعب يطلق عليهما حمل على الأول احتياطا لأن الأحوط فيما كان أكثر كشفا بحر (شامي 2/490)
