Does the ablution become invalid by removing the socks after wiping over them?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh! A man wiped over his socks during his ablution, then removed them after finding a smell on them, and he prayed without washing the area where they had been. What is the ruling on the prayer?

The Shaykh:
He must repeat the prayer. The ruling is that he must repeat the prayer because if he removes what he wiped over, the ablution becomes invalid. Yes.

The presenter:
And when the time limit for wiping ends, does the ablution become invalid while he is in a state of purity?

The Shaykh:
Yes, indeed. When the time limit for wiping is completed—one day and night for a resident, and three days and nights for a traveler—the effect of the wiping ends. So he must remove them and wash his feet. Yes.
