A man put on socks after performing wudu, then changed them for another pair. Does his wudu become invalid?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If I perform wudu, then put on socks, then pray Maghrib, then take off that sock and put on another sock, and then pray 'Isha' with the first state of purity, what is the ruling on my 'Isha' prayer?

Answer:
As long as you are in the first state of purity and your wudu has not been invalidated, the wiping has not started yet. Wiping does not begin until the wudu is invalidated by a state of ritual impurity after putting on the socks. So as long as your wudu from the first state of purity has not been invalidated, the wiping has not started yet. There is nothing wrong with it. Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
