127. It was narrated that Zirr said: "I asked Ṣafwān bin 'Assāl about wiping over the Khuffs, and he said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to tell us, when we were traveling, to wipe over our Khuffs and not take them off for three nights in the event of defecating, urinating or sleeping; only in the case of Janābah.""

Commentary
1. Wiping over footgear is permissible both when one is traveling and when one is not traveling.
2. Since a traveler has to endure harsh circumstances while on a journey, the period allowed for wiping is longer than what the case is when one is in the comfort of one's home.
3. Wiping over footgear is legislated for ablution but not for the purificatory bath (Ghusl). If a state of major ritual impurity occurs during the period allowed for wiping over footgear, then one must take them off for the purificatory bath (Ghusl).
