Those scholars who do not have deep insight into hadith have erred in taking evidence from them, and they have declared it permissible for a person whose ablution has been invalidated to wipe over both feet.

Ubadah bin Tamim narrates from his father, who says: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) performing ablution and wiping over the tops of his feet with water. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the narration of Nafi’ from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) is also in this chapter.
