The Ruling on Praying in Split Socks and Wiping Over Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Shaykh, a person prayed several prayers while wearing socks that were split, and he found out about it afterward.
The Shaykh:
He has to repeat the prayers if the splits are obvious and the skin is visible through them, because they do not cover the feet. He must replace them, perform wudu, and repeat the prayers he prayed in socks with splits through which the skin is visible. Yes.
The questioner:
If he takes off these socks at all times, but he wears them out of fear of the cold,
The Shaykh:
he may wear them if there is no impediment, but if they are split with large tears through which the skin is visible, it is not permissible to wipe over them or to pray in them. Yes.
