The Washing of Feet Properly is an Integral part of Wudoo’.

It was narrated that „Abdullaah ibn „Amr (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “Woe to the heels from the Fire! [Do Wudoo’ properly].” [Saheeh Al-Bukhari]
Important Points Derived from the Hadeeth:

1. The obligation of giving attention to the parts of the body washed in Ablution, and not being neglectful of any of them. The hadeeth has clearly points to taking care when one washes his feet during Wudoo’. The rest of the parts of the body washed in Wudoo’ are included by Qiyaas (analogy), based on texts in other hadeeths, which mention each of these parts.

2. The severe threat for the one who is neglectful in the performance of Wudoo’.

3. The obligation, in reference to the two feet during Wudoo’, is washing them. This is confirmed in numerous authentic hadeeths, as well as the consensus (Ijmaa’) of the Muslim Ummah. This is in contradiction to the strange and deviant position of the Shee’ah, who opposed the whole of the Ummah as they have rejected the confirmed and authentic hadeeths which report the action of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), as well as his teaching and instructions to the Companions.
