Removing the leather socks before the wiping period ends
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If I wipe over the leather socks, must I complete the full wiping period, or is it permissible for me to remove them before the time is up?
The Shaykh:
It is permissible to remove them before the time is up, but if you remove them, the ablution becomes invalid. You must perform the ablution again. If you remove the item you wiped over, the ablution becomes invalid, as will be explained, if Allah wills, at the end of this chapter.
The questioner:
Or something other than them.
The Shaykh:
You are required to continue wearing the leather socks until the time expires, but if you remove them, you must perform the ablution.
