about how to wipe over socks, the duration of the wiping, and the ruling on removing the socks after wiping?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. He also asks about how to wipe over the socks? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
Wiping over the socks is like wiping over the leather socks, by placing the fingers of his hands, wet with water, the right hand on the right foot and the left hand on the left foot, starting from the tips of the toes and moving them up to the calves once, on the condition that the socks cover the feet, the first part, and what is underneath them, such that the color of the skin is not visible from behind them. If there are tears or wide holes in them through which part of the foot is visible, then wiping over these socks is not valid, because they do not cover.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Is there a specific duration, Shaykh Salih (may Allah preserve him), that you mention for the person who asked this question (may Allah preserve him)?

The Shaykh:
I mean, the result.

The presenter:
For wiping over the socks.

The Shaykh:
For wiping over the socks, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) specified that for the resident it is one day and one night, and for the traveler it is three days and their nights.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
This is the duration for wiping. Yes.

The presenter:
If he removes the socks during this period, within this period, what is the ruling, Shaykh Salih?

The Shaykh:
If he removes the socks or one of them, his ablution is invalid, so he must renew his ablution. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good
