The duration of wiping over leather socks with dry ablution

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A traveler is performing tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) because he has no water available. He has been wearing his leather socks for three days and three nights. If the time limit expires, does he have to take off the socks, even though he is still continuing with tayammum?

Answer:
What about the one who performs tayammum and keeps the socks on? The ruling applies only when using water. As for tayammum, it has no set time limit. Yes.
