Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: There are medical socks that are open at the front of the foot and extend above the knee. They are worn in a specific way and kept on all day, not removed except at night. Is it permissible to wipe over them for every prayer and ablution?
Answer:
Yes, if you put them on while in a state of ritual purity, meaning if you put them on while you have performed wudu' (ablution) completely, and they cover the foot, then you wipe over them. For a resident, this is for one day and one night, and for a traveler, it is for three days and their nights.
