and it is not permissible to approach it in a state of intoxication or janabah; as God has forbidden it and said: ﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَقْرَبُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَنْتُمْ سُكَارَى حَتَّى تَعْلَمُوا مَا تَقُولُونَ وَلَا جُنُبًا إِلَّا عَابِرِي سَبِيلٍ حَتَّى تَغْتَسِلُوا﴾[1]; “O you who believed! Do not approach prayer when you are drunk until you know what you say, nor in a state of major impurity, unless you are passing through, until you perform ghusl,” and it is obligatory to perform wudu before performing it, which is washing the face and hands up to the elbows and rubbing the head and feet up to the ankles; as God has commanded it and said: ﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَاغْسِلُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ إِلَى الْمَرَافِقِ وَامْسَحُوا بِرُءُوسِكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ﴾[2]; “O you who believed! When you stand up for prayer, wash your faces and your hands up to the elbows and wipe your heads and your feet up to the ankles”; although most Muslims consider it obligatory to wash the feet in it as they wash their faces and hands, but it is not hidden that this is contrary to the apparent meaning of the Quran; because the apparent meaning of the Quran clearly indicates the wiping of the feet, whether ﴿أَرْجُلَكُمْ﴾; “your feet” is read as accusative[3] or genitive[4]; except that if it is read as accusative, it refers to ﴿وَامْسَحُوا﴾; “and wipe” and indicates wiping the entire feet up to the ankles, and if it is read as genitive, it refers to ﴿بِرُءُوسِكُمْ﴾; “your heads” and indicates wiping a part of the feet up to the ankles, and in neither case it refers to ﴿فَاغْسِلُوا﴾; “wash”; because its referring to it is contrary to the apparent meaning and eloquence in both cases, and it is not permissible except in cases of necessity, and there is no necessity for it except to adapt the Quran to the well-known sect, and it is clear that adapting the Quran to the well-known sect is imperiousness, and it is obligatory to adapt the well-known sect to the Quran;
