Is wudu' obligatory for one who wears socks over the socks on which he wiped?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if one wipes over the socks and then wears a second pair of socks over them, is he required to perform wudu' again, or is the previous wudu' sufficient? We ask for clarification on this issue, as it occurs frequently.

Answer:
If he wiped and his wudu' has not been invalidated, his wudu' is valid even if he wears another pair of socks. However, if his wudu' is invalidated and he wishes to wipe, he wipes over the first pair on which he began the wiping, not the second. He removes the first and wipes over the first—meaning he removes the second and wipes over the one underneath, the one on which he began the wiping. Yes.
