If a person wears leather socks while in a state of ritual purity, then becomes ritually impure, and after a period of time performs the ablution for prayer and wipes over the leather socks, when does the period for wiping begin?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Accordingly, if a person wears the leather socks while in a state of ritual purity for the Fajr prayer, then becomes ritually impure at ten o'clock, and does not perform the ablution for prayer.

Answer : Then he performs the ablution for prayer for the Zuhr prayer at twelve o'clock and wipes over them. Does the period begin from ten o'clock or from twelve o'clock? According to the stronger position, it begins from twelve o'clock. According to the weaker position, it begins from ten o'clock, that is, from the state of ritual impurity. Some scholars hold an anomalous view that the period begins from the time of wearing the socks; that the period begins from the time of wearing the socks. So the opinions are three: from the time of wearing, from the state of ritual impurity after wearing, and from the wiping after the state of ritual impurity. This last one is the correct one. As for wiping for renewal, I have not seen anyone discuss it, but the apparent meaning of their words is that wiping for renewal is not considered. And the period does not begin from wiping for renewal, but is considered from wiping due to a state of ritual impurity. Yes.
