The Ruling on Wiping Over Thin or Perforated Socks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible to wipe over thin, transparent socks, or those that have holes in them?
The Shaykh:
What does not cover the skin is not wiped over. What does not cover the skin, whether because it has holes and tears or because it is so thin that the skin is visible through it, is not wiped over, because the skin is clearly visible and it is not a barrier over the skin. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
The default regarding socks and leather socks is that they are sound. If someone claims that they are perforated or torn, he must provide evidence for that claim. The default is soundness.
