Doubt regarding wiping over socks during prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This is a question stating that he has doubt about wiping over socks during the prayer. What is required of him?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
There is no doubt about wiping over socks during the prayer.
The Shaykh:
The default is that wiping is not done. Therefore, this invalidates the prayer. If he is praying, he should exit, perform wudu, wipe over the socks, and pray with certainty, because he has not been certain of his purity. Wiping over the socks or over the leather socks serves as a substitute for washing the feet, so it is as if he did not wash his feet. He should return, perform wudu, wipe, and then resume the prayer.
