Rules for Wiping Over Khuffs (Alas Kaki) in Ablution (Wudu)
📌 The discussion focuses on the Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) of wiping over *khuffs* (or similar footwear) as a substitute for washing the feet during Wudu.
👞 *Khuff* refers to strong, non-water-permeable footwear that covers the ankles (the boundary for washing feet in Wudu). Examples include strong leather coverings or specific boots, not typical socks or fashion sneakers that don't cover the ankles.
🕋 Wearing footwear during prayer is permissible, referencing the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) who once prayed wearing sandals after being warned by Angel Jibril about impurities on them.

Conditions (Syarat-Syarat) for Wiping Over Khuffs
📌 The footwear must be pure (suci), free from ritual impurity (*najis*).
🛡️ They must be strong enough to withstand walking and cover the parts of the foot required to be washed in Wudu (i.e., covering the ankles).
👟 They must be put on after achieving a complete, perfect state of ritual purity (Wudu).

Duration and Application
⏳ The duration for wiping is differentiated based on residency status: 1 day and 1 night (24 hours) for residents (*mukim*) and 3 days and 3 nights (72 hours) for travelers (*musafir*).
⏱️ The time calculation begins immediately following the last act of impurity (hadas) that occurred *after* the khuffs were worn following a complete Wudu.
💧 The method involves lightly moistening the hands and wiping the top outer surface of the khuff once; this is wiping, not pouring/washing.

Invalidators (Pembatal) of Wiping Over Khuffs
🛑 The main invalidators are removing the khuffs (even one foot) or the expiration of the prescribed duration.
🚿 If the khuffs are removed while the person still has Wudu (meaning they are still in a state of purity from before the hadas that reset the timer), they must only wash their feet normally and do not need to repeat the entire Wudu.
🛌 If Wudu is broken (e.g., by sleeping), it is best practice to perform a full, complete Wudu without relying on the khuff wiping substitute afterward.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Prayer is valid even when wearing appropriate footwear (like sandals or sturdy shoes) that cover the necessary parts of the feet.
➡️ The Sunnah method of wiping includes the top, bottom, and heel surfaces, but the obligation only requires wiping the top outer surface once.
➡️ If one switches status (e.g., travels while intending to be a resident), the obligation defaults to the shorter duration (1 day/night for residents) unless the travel period has already exceeded that limit.
