Rulings on Wiping Over Socks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the rulings concerning wiping over socks in the cold weather
Answer:
The rulings require that the socks be thick enough to cover what is beneath them, with no openings through which the skin is visible, and they must not be transparent such that the skin can be seen through them. One does not wipe over such socks; rather, one wipes over socks that cover the legs, which serve the same function as leather socks (khuffayn) in the permissibility or prescription of wiping over them, provided they are covering and thick on the leg. Yes.
