The Ruling on Wiping Over a Perforated Khuff

Question:
The Shaykh’s position: I advise you, may Allah guide you. In the statement of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding the issue of the perforated and torn khuff, he said that the Companions used to wear them and wipe over them. Is what he (may Allah have mercy on him) held correct?

Answer:
Yes, Shaykh al-Islam said this, and others who followed him or... But we say: the default is soundness. The default for footwear is soundness. So prove to us that they were perforated. Prove to us that the khuffs of the Companions, or the khuff of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), had holes in them, so that we may accept his statement. Otherwise, the default is soundness. The default for khuffs and footwear is soundness.
Furthermore, when the word "khuff" is used in a general sense, and "sock" is used in a general sense, they refer to the sound ones. As for the perforated one, it is not referred to by the general term; rather, one says "a perforated khuff" or "a perforated sock." If I said, "This is a sock" or "This is a khuff," using the general term, that would be deception. If someone ordered you to buy a khuff and you brought him a perforated khuff and said, "I dealt with you," he would say, "No, I ordered a sound khuff, not the general khuff, which is what I intended." Yes.
