Most of the Sunnis...

Most of the Sunnis, following the idea of the four Islamic schools, believe that the feet should be washed up to the ankles, but some of the grand Sunni jurisprudents and all the Shia believe that what is ordered is rubbing the feet up to the ankles, not washing them. Some Sunni jurisprudents believe that both rubbing and washing are valid and still some others have issued verdicts to perform both of them.

The noble verse, about our duty toward the feet in ablution, says: And rub your heads and your feet to the ankles. Among the usual pronunciations, the word “ارجلكم” (your feet) has been pronounced in two ways: one with the jarr (genetive case) vowel (/i/ sound) and the other with the nasb (accusative case) vowel (as the vowel sound in English ‘lab’). We now discuss either pronunciation to understand our true duty as stipulated in the Holy Quran. NOTES: _________________ 1.
