The Ruling on Wiping Over Boots
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to wipe over boots that are not leather and to pray in them, or not? This is because they are not considered leather, given that there is a rubber sole underneath them?
Answer:
Whoever says that they are considered valid is mistaken. I mean, if they are called boots, calling them boots does not make them valid. I am warning you. A name does not change the reality. So, wipe over them and pray in them, and praise be to Allah.
