The questioner : What are the things that invalidate the period of wiping over the leather socks or the turban, other than the expiration of the time?
The Shaykh : Taking off the leather sock also invalidates the wiping.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : If one takes off the leather sock, the wiping is invalidated at any time.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : At any time, but the ritual purity remains. The evidence that taking off the leather sock invalidates the wiping is the hadith of Safwan ibn 'AsalSahih Muslim 3002a. This indicates that removal invalidates the wiping. So if a person takes off his leather sock after wiping over it, the wiping is invalidated for him, meaning he cannot put it back on and wipe over it again unless he performs a complete ablution in which he washes his feet. As for his ritual purity when he takes it off, it remains. Ritual purity is not broken by taking off the item that was wiped over. This is because when the one who wipes performs the wiping, his ritual purity is completed by the requirement of the Shari'ah evidence. Therefore, this ritual purity is not broken except by the requirement of Shari'ah evidence. There is no Shari'ah evidence that if one takes off the item that was wiped over, the ablution is invalidated. The evidence is only that if one takes off the item that was wiped over, the wiping is invalidated, meaning the wiping is not repeated again except after washing the feet, after washing the feet... a complete ablution. So we say: The original state is the continuation of this ritual purity, which is established by the requirement of Shari'ah evidence, until evidence appears. If there is no evidence, the ablution remains unbroken. This is the stronger position in our view.

Abu Ma'mar reported that a person lauded a ruler amongst the rulers and Miqdad began to throw dust upon him and he said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) commanded us that we should throw dust upon the faces of those who shower too much praise.
