Conditions for Wiping Over Leather Socks

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what are the conditions for wiping over leather socks?

Answer:
They must be covering, they must be pure, meaning made from a pure material, from pure leather that has been tanned, not from forbidden skins. They must be long enough to cover the leg from the ankles and what is below them. And the wiping must be within the time limit set by the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), which is one day and one night for the resident, and three days and their nights for the traveler. Yes.
