Question:
I see people wetting the socks when wiping over them in a clear and heavy manner. Is it necessary to have moisture, or is it sufficient for the one wiping to shake the water off his hands and then wipe over the socks with them?
Answer:
For socks, leather socks, and other things over which one wipes, the manner of wiping is to place his fingers, wet with water, on the right leg, on the upper part of the right leg, and the fingers of the left hand on the upper part of the left leg, starting from the toes, then passing them to the calves once, without repeating the wiping and without pouring water. Moisture is sufficient; moisture is sufficient. This is the manner of wiping over the leather socks or the socks: once, from the toes to the calves, passing his fingers, wet with water, and spreading them apart.
