Why did the people of the Sunnah include wiping over the leather socks in the creed, and is the one who denies it an innovator?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the one who denies wiping over the leather socks an innovator? And why did the scholars include wiping over the leather socks in the chapters of the creed?

Answer:
Those who do not hold that wiping over the leather socks is valid are the Rafidah (Twelver Shi'ah); they do not hold that wiping over the leather socks is valid. Wiping over the leather socks is a mass-transmitted report from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him); it is a mass-transmitted report, and it is a confirmed dispensation from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). They deny this, whereas the people of the Sunnah and the community hold that wiping over the leather socks is valid under the conditions mentioned. No one denies it except an innovator or one who imitates the Shi'ah. The strange thing is that the Shi'ah do not hold that wiping over the leather socks is valid, even though it is established from the Messenger, yet they wipe over their legs; they wipe over their legs. What is this contradiction, may Allah protect us from it? Yes, they wipe over their legs and do not wash them. Yes.
