The ruling on removing socks after wiping over them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah keep you safe, Honorable Shaykh. One of the questions that came to the program is from a man who 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.
Answer:
He must repeat the prayer, because if he removes what he wiped over, his ablution becomes invalid. His foot becomes exposed, and once it is exposed, it is obligatory to wash it. So, since he removed what he wiped over, his ablution became invalid. He prayed in this state, so he must repeat the prayer. Yes.
