Fatwa number ( 14053 )
Q: For example, I performed wudu' and put on my socks, then my wudu' was broken (I became impure), and then I put on another sock over the first one. Is it permissible to wipe over the second one, or should I remove it and wipe over the first one, or should I remove both and wash my feet? It is the same example as before, but I put on two socks together, then became impure, and afterwards I removed the second sock. Is it permissible to wipe over the remaining sock, or should I remove it and wash my feet?
A: First: If a person puts on a sock over ritual purity, then becomes impure and puts on another, he wipes over the first one; because it is the one that was put on over ritual purity. Second: If he puts on two socks together over ritual purity, then becomes impure and removes the upper one, it is permissible for him to wipe over the lower sock; because it was put on over ritual purity. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
