Washing the feet in ghusal

· 1 Safar 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is it O.K to wash the feet while standing upright during wudhu without using hands to make khilaal between each toe, because I am over weight. I just thoughrally wash my feet by spreading my toes fingers while standind, I do that only when I sit at the masjid Wudhu Khana. While at home I make the wudu in a standing position, because of the over weight, it's hard for me to sit in the bath tub to wash my feet using fingers. Please Advise me for this.

Answer

If water reached all parts of the feet, the wudhu will be valid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
