Ayatollah Khamenei (may God protect him):
It is required to wipe the feet with wetness from the fingertips to the ankle joint. The area to be wiped on the feet is the upper surface from the tip of one toe to the ankle joint, and it is not necessary to cover the entire upper surface of the foot in width.

Ayatollah Sistani (may God protect him):
It is required to wipe the feet from the tips of the toes to the joint between the leg and the foot, and it is sufficient to wipe the designated area in width; it is not necessary to cover the entire upper surface of the foot.
