Right-hand preference in wiping over the leather socks

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it not prescribed to prefer the right hand when wiping over the leather socks, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
When you perform ablution, prefer your right hands.إذا توضأتم فارتأوا بميامنكم
.

Answer:
No, there is no right-hand preference in this. He places his right hand on his right foot and his left hand on his left foot, and wipes them once over the backs of the leather socks together. This is what was reported. The right-hand preference applies to washing, specifically washing the feet, but this is wiping, not washing.
