Soil Is (One Of The) Means To Be Purified
Muhammad Ibn Umara: One hadith
[95] From Malik from Muhammad ibn Umara from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim that the mother of the son of Ibrahim ibn Abd ur-Rahman ibn Awf questioned Umm Salama (Radi Allahu Anha), the wife of the Prophet, (Sallalahu Alayhi Wa Sallam), by saying, “I am a woman who wears a long skirt and (sometimes) I walk in dirty places.” Umm Salama (Radi Allahu Anha) replied, “The Messenger of Allah (Sallalahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said, ‘What follows (i.e. clean places) purifies it.’ ” .

[UNDERSTANDING FROM THE HADITH]
1) The women should also cover their feet from non-mahram men.
2) Pure soil purifies some dirt.
3) The answer to a question should be given with the utmost emphasis of evidences from the Quran, hadith and ijma. If you don’t know the evidence then it is allowed to perform ijtihad. However it is better for a person to say ‘I don’t know’.
4) Islam is an easy religion.
